    Whoever on the Redskins made THAT deal needs to be thrown in an institution. Seriously? Are they THAT desperate?

    can you name more than one franchise QB the Redskins have had...like ever?

    Sammy Baugh, maybe Sonny Jurgenson.

    And there you go. skins should be desperate

    Could Manning go to the Titans?

    http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-titans-manning

    The Titans owner said he would even offer him a post-career job in the front office if he signs.

    Yeah, but Manning is getting a post-career front office job anyways. Or maybe as a OC.

    Edited on Mar 12, 2012 12:27 am GMT

    And on the seventh day, God rested. Having created the heavens and the Earth, the seas and all they contain, He ceased all labors. But the seventh day being a Sunday, and with all of His fantasy teams playing, He needed a shortstop. So God created Derek Jeter, and blessed him, and said unto him, be fruitful. And Jeter was good. Jeter held dominion over opposing pitchers (.343 AVG in 2006), was plentiful in power (14 HR and 97 RBIs), and moved over the earth (34 steals) and across home plate (118 runs). And God blessed Jeter, and sanctified him, and said to Roto owners everywhere, make Jeter your No. 1 middle infielder.

    None of the teams bidding for Manning right now could ever dream of winning a bidding war with Pat Bowlen. Sorry to burst your bubbles fins and cards fans but all signs point to Tim Tebow's career taking the peverbial arrow to the knee.

    From Adam Schefter's twitter account:

    "NFL is taking away millions of dolllar of salary-cap space from Cowboys and Redskins for how they front-loaded deals during uncapped year."

    "Cowboys lose $10 million in cap space, Redskins lose $36 million in space. Can split it over 2012 and 2013 any way they want. More at ESPN."

    "All that money goes to 28 other teams -- $1.6 million each -- except for Saints and Raiders, who don't get any but don't lose any."

    @ the Cowboys & Redskins. Thanks for the extra capspace.

    It's not clear to me if the agreement which they broke was reached before or after the 2010 offseason. To me, the wording of "recent agreement" makes it sound like this agreement was reached post lockout, and therefore was not against any agreement at the time. If the agreement was reached before the frontloaded contracts were given however, then the punishment seems fair.

    Wait wait, Dallas and Deadskins were penalized for spending too much in an UNCAPPED year? Wtf? Lmao. I mean 10$ mill over 2 years for Dallas isn't that bad anyway, but what a joke.

    It's not for spending, but for frontloading. If a player expects, say, fifteen million a year for five years and the team agrees to pay them thirty mil in an uncapped year and only ten mil per season after that then it's kind of dirty pool as teams who happened to be re-signing key players in an uncapped year gain an unfair advanatage vs. teams that didn't have large expiring contracts that year.

    No need for a hypothetical example, look at Miles Austin's contract.
    17 mill in the uncapped year, 1.15 this year...

    If it were Lance Briggs he'd be asking to restructure his contract because one million is ridiculous for his production.
