While I'm no Salary Cap expert, I can recognize an outdated list from the beginning of last season.
I was giving an example. WHether it was last year or this years didnt matter. I was simply making a point to a fellow poster how the Skins have been throwing away money.
Which only disproves your point even more. You'll notice the dead cap number is decreasing, not increasing. That is a good thing. It means the Redskins are not doing business as usual. Which was your complaint. Which has no basis in fact. Unless you care to complain about history.
In my original post. I complained about the possibility of us getting WIll Demps. Which is what this thread is about.
I do not like us signing an average at best player. If we do sign him I do not want this team overpaying him which is what scares me.
Look at the list again. We are paying mediocre talent all on that list. Todd Wade???? Antwan Randle El???Renaldo Wynn??? Mark Brunell???
In my opinion we shouldnt pay for mediocre players. Which is what the list clearly shows.
In my personal opinion there are alot of mediocre players on the squad getting overpaid on this team.
Hero, what thread have you been reading? Demps has re-signed with the Texans as already posted. Move on.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [David Elfin]
Just chatted with Redskins front office boss Vinny Cerrato. We're more than a week into free agency and Cerrato is holding firm to his stand-pat stance.
"We have no visits scheduled," said Cerrato, even though he admitted the market had started to shake out, bringing the price down on free agents.
Asked if he had any interest in Takeo Spikes, a former Pro Bowl linebacker was who cut by Philadelphia yesterday, Cerrato said, "Nope."
Asked about a rumor that the Redskins were going to bring in former New York Jet Justin McCareins in their quest for a big receiver, Cerrato said, "That's wrong."
And Cerrato said there had been no progress in re-signing any of Washington's own free agents (other than backup quarterback Todd Collins, whose deal got done in the first few hours of free agency) such as punter Derrick Frost and kick returner Rock Cartwright.
Although Cerrato confirmed the Redskins have about $8 million in salary cap space, he said that they currently only plan to sign players to minimum salary deals.
In sum, it's quieter at Redskin Park than at 3 a.m. on a weekday in downtown Berryville.
Yes, the Redskins might land a compensatory third-round pick in next month's draft for losing guard Derrick Dockery to Buffalo last March, but counting on rookies to significantly upgrade the roster when you're picking 21st is a longshot.
Maybe November pickup Anthony Mix is the big receiver the Redskins have been missing. Maybe holdover Matt Sinclair and a draft pick will provide the necessary depth at outside linebacker. Maybe Pierson Prioleau will return to provide experience behind young safeties LaRon Landry and Reed Doughty. Maybe the Redskins will finally draft a starting defensive end, some competent offensive linemen, a fourth corner and a third-string quarterback.
That's a lot of maybes for a team that competes in the same division with the Super Bowl champions (the Giants), the team that had the NFC's best record in 2007 (the Cowboys) and the team that won the NFC East in all but one year from 2001-06 and signed the best free agent on defense (the Eagles).
But then after covering the Redskins and/or the NFL for more than 15 years, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
Redskins agreed to terms with Rock Cartwright on a three-year, $3 million contract. The deal includes a $300,000 signing bonus.
Cartwright wasn't hoping to get interest from other teams, but it didn't happen. He'll continue to be Washington's third-string running back and special teams pro. Washington has the makings of an excellent running game.

Per David Elfin of the Washington Times, it's a three-year, $3.55 million million deal with a $300,000 signing bonus, a roster bonus of $300,000 due this year, and a roster bonus of $200,000 due in 2009.

Under the terms of his new deal, Cartwright, a six-year veteran, will receive a $300,000 signing bonus, $500,000 guaranteed, with a base salary of $605,000 in 2008, -- the minimum for a player with six years in the league. He will receive a $200,000 roster bonus and a $745,000 salary in 2009 and a $1.5 million salary in 2010.
Cartwright, who made almost $680,000 last season, became a free agent when he achieved performance incentives that voided the remainder of his contract. He ranked sixth in the NFL with 1,339 yards on kickoff returns. Cartwright was believed to be seeking $2 million guaranteed. In an interview Thursday at Redskins Park, Cartwright said he had not received any offers from other teams.
He was asking for a lot for a teamer, he's a good number 3 back and has been what we all always ask for (a player we drafted that produces and stays with the team), but it's a reason he's #3 and Betts was signed before he hit the market.
At any rate his depaeture would have been felt on the field and in the locker room
Countertrey wrote:While he is a leader in the locker room and on the sidelines, he would be emminently replacable on the field. He provides no real upside as a running back, and is an average returner. Had he left, I would have said "eh". That he is staying, I will say "eh".

Finally a visitor [David Elfin]
An NFL source just told me that Seattle receiver D.J. Hackett will become the first free agent to visit Redskin Park when he comes on Wednesday night, nearly two weeks after the signing period started.
Hackett, 26, caught just 32 passes for 384 yards and three touchdowns last year, but he knows new coach Jim Zorn well from their four years together with the Seahawks. The 6-foot-2, 208-pound Colorado product has the size the Redskins have been seeking to complement undersized holdovers Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El.
