^ Josh Sitton, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley are all in the last years of their rookie contracts.

Then there’s Clay Matthew’s and BJ Raji’s contracts.

Keep getting yourself psyched up about your “dream team”, its gonna make it all the sweeter for the rest of us when the Eagles fail once more.

Sincerely,
3 time Super Bowl Champions.

Says the chump celebrating Championships that were won under different ownership, GMs and coaches.

In your heart, though, you know how irrelevant you are. Vick’s gonna hang up another 56 point game on you this year, and you’ll be in hiding with the rest of the LOLskins fans.

muahhahahahahahahah- the skins ARE in cap hell…. and footballl hell in general.

Your brain trust traded a #2 pick for our washed up qb.

They paid Fat Albert to do NOTHING for more than a year.

Having an owner who pays top $ for old vets past their prime does not make you the “best cap guys”. It just makes you……. last place in the div year in and year out.

And Asomugha (30), Jenkins (30) and Babin (31) are not past their prime? This is all about perception. The Skins will win and change perception. They just haven’t found a consistent QB over the years. Most of those signings would have worked if a QB was in place.

As for the Chiefs… Remember, they locked up Derrick Johnson, Jamaal Charles and others midseason last year. With Dwayne Bowe, Glenn Dorsey, Brandon Flowers, and Brandon Carr all up after this year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see quite a bit of that 33 million eaten up by December. I know one thing for sure, they won’t be bogged down by crappy contracts when they’re ready to make a big move, and for that I’m happy.

Besides, this isn’t a super bowl team, why throw contracts around just to say you did? Re-invest in your own guys instead.

A travesty that Joe Carter isn’t in the HOF. The guy wins two World Series rings and had a great career, yet he gets no love from the voters.

Meanwhile, Jim Rice sneaks in on his last try just because the Boston media makes some noise about him not being in.

Joe C for HOF!!!!!!!

Nice response, moron. Way to completely miss the point. At no time did I say the moves always worked out or that it translated into success on the field. Way to show yourself as a true Eagles fan.

If they were in cap hell, they wouldn’t have been able to pay Albert to do nothing for a year, would they? And the cap guys had nothing to do with the McNabb trade, did they? Nor did it affect the cap negatively. You do know that cap specialists don’t actually make football decisions, right?

And we were able to pay “top $”, as you say, for aging vets BECAUSE we have the best cap guys. Otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to afford big names all these years.

I’m sure you’ve missed the boat while you’ve been NOT winning championships, but Vinny is gone and Snyder isn’t even in the building when football decisions are made. Sorry to say its a new day. No football hell here.

Keep getting yourself psyched up about your “dream team”, its gonna make it all the sweeter for the rest of us when the Eagles fail once more.

@dawkphan :: Yup, you are 100% correct. Vick’s cap number is 16 million with the tagged designation. Restructuring Vick would drop that cap number a few million most likely.

There’s a lot of blame to go around for Childress however this is not one of them. Childress had nothing to do with salaries of the players. This is something that was handled by Rob B and Spielman.

———————————————–

Yeah, Speilman can share some blame for low cap space, but I wouldn’t be concerned about the low cap number if the Vikings had better players. Childress had the final call on the roster.

He could have cut Bryant McKinnie and replaced him with someone more motivated years ago, but McKinnie’s fat contract stayed put. The QB position is in complete shambles because Childress insisted that Tarvaris Jackson was the next franchise QB, even long after everyone else figured out this wasn’t going to be. Instead he held onto Jackson until he had to go crawling to Favre to save his job. It was Childress who didn’t fight to keep Matt Birk, and didn’t make sure the team had an adequate replacement once he signed with the Ravens.

Not at all, but the cap management has never been a problem.

I still say we’re picking up a TE via cuts – I just hope it ends up being someone decent.

case in point: the Falcons next to the Vikings, or the Redskins along side the Packers.

The Skins have the best cap guys in the league. For the last 15 years all anyone talks about is how the Skins are in “cap hell”, but strangely enough, this have never come to fruition. They constantly have reworked and structured contracts to make it work, year after year. Sure they’ve made bad signings, but managing the cap was never a problem. And now that Vinny is gone, its much much less so.
