\u201cMara\u201d
\nThe moniker has become an epithet in Redskins nation.
\nWell\u2026 it is truly an ill wind that blows no good. It\u2019s slowly looking more and more like Shanahan and Company have found the silver lining.
\nThe Redskins appear on the verge of surviving the obscene penalties suffered for violating the cap in an uncapped year, with the team pretty much intact. \u00a0The only significant loss was the OMG, who will certainly be missed, but mostly because he was simply a great story, and super reliable on the field. 36 Million was the toll for crossing Mara, and refusing to collude. 18 Mil last year\u2026 18 Mil this year\u2026 but, despite Mara\u2019s worst\u2026 the team will survive, yielding an incredibly disciplined fiscal machine that may be as much as 42 Million UNDER the cap next year according\u00a0to some media\u00a0capologists\u00a0(based on a cap of around 132 mil, and about 80 million currently committed in 2014). \u00a0Yes, you read right.<\/p>\n
Now, that is the most optimistic estimate that I have seen, and this cap stuff is NEVER as simple as it appears, but our own THN Capologist, 1niksder has offered an estimate of about 32 million\u2026 \u00a0Keep in mind that there are rumors that even some big guns in sports media consult his numbers before they hit the air\/press\u2026 so, I\u2019m going with that\u2026 and hoping he\u2019s low (sorry, 1niks\u2026)<\/p>\n
That means that our legitimate contender will very likely enter the off season next year with a TON of cash to spend in FA, and a history of being willing to spend it. \u00a0Now, prudence dictates some caution, and, of course, we are going to have a few contract decisions to make (Orakpo, Riley, Sleepy Davis), but I\u2019m betting that Mara is looking at this, and popping Omeprazole like candy.\u00a0 Maybe we should consider thanking him…\u00a0<\/p>\n
Talk about revenge? How SWEET would that be?
