The Commanders are at it again, and this makes the second defensive signing. Defensive end/outside linebacker Andre Carter is schedule to fly to Washington and sign his brand new six-year, approximately $30 million contract.

lol I guess that contract is pretty much standard with all of the Skins signings. New peanut vendor...6 years 30 million.

It's amazing what average talent goes for these days. Carter looked like a phenom his first and second years in the league, but has been very pedestrian since. $30 million for what, 6.5 sacks last season?

 

[Portland Fanatic]

There's no way all these high priced signing can be valid...no way!

They were barely under cap and now all these huge bonuses and signings? Does not add up.

 

[AbeBeta]

For Andre Carter? Wow. Danny is nuts.

 

[Qwickdraw]

Danny is sniffing straight Viagara.:laugh2: :laugh1:

He's spending like a 14 year old boy with a hard-on in an adult video store.:laugh1: :laugh2:

D'OH I was listening to radio and they couldnt confirm it or have any numbers

The NFL needs to Audit the skins cap.... How can they afford it?

actually it does add up -- they have to give huge bonuses and massive back ends on the deal to make it add up. the bigger the bonus the more money is shoved to the last few years. it allows a smaller cap hit now but real trouble when you get past year 3ish.

Well, it appears that the RedStinks have been past year 3ish for sometime, and it ain't caught up to them yet!

So what adds up is cap hell in 3 years...he has to recycle players every 3 years to even have a chance to stay within cap. That's nuts...

Adam mentioned that Washington could have up to $15 million to play with, so why couldn't they fit a bunch of guys? They are seriously leveraging the future, but the next time around they will be able to cut players to get under the cap. Washington is shooting for the Superbowl and when the dust settles, emerge with Jason Campbell, Jon Jansen, Santana Moss, Sean Taylor, Brandon Lloyd, Carlos Rogers, and their second rounder this year to build the franchise around. Should they win it all they will dump Portis, Samuels, et al and start over.

JJ spent around 30 Million last year in Bonus's (Henry, Ferg and Rivera)...

Oh yeah Bledsoe too, how much was his bonus ?

How much has Snyder spent in the last few days in Bonus's ? At least 3-40 million.

Lol, must be nice to spend like its monopoly money.

correct and with 4 or 5 mil dollar salaries in the latter years if they cut them after 3 or 4 they just get hit with the remaining of the signing bonus that is already paid out...not a bad way of doing business for mid 20s guys that you would probably release or restructure with paycuts after they past 30 and the sexy big total number gets them to sign along with a nice up front bonus. As we should know, don't count on cap hell for them as they seem to know contracts better than Johnnie Cochran.

Yeah right...fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me...

Someone will bail the Skins out next time again. Danny knows this, which is why he is on his sweepstakes spending spree. I do wonder what their cap looks like for the current season. It would seem that they are already over whatever limit they managed to squeeze out from their contract restructures. If they are over, then they are going to have to cut more players before the season starts though.

 

[Da Hammer]

could be good signing for them if he is healthy but he's had trouble staying healthy and still got WAY overpaid even if he does his job considering he hasn't done **** in years

cap hell does catch up to you eventually. eventually you get some guys who say "screw you" when it comes to taking a paycut -- and then it is all over

 

[DallasKen]

Cap Hell does catch up with you if any of these guys get hurt for significant amounts of time...also the skins released guys like smoot, pierce and arrington...those were all cap related in some way or another...so it impacts your team, but unless something catastrophic happens like a bad injury or a player your signed to replace a smoot or pierce doesn't pan out...it's just more subtle.
