hogs on the field Cheap Jimmy Moreland Jersey , like former Washington quarterbacks have enjoyed. But at the moment, he’d settle for a local cow.The Washington quarterback’s currently on crutches, after surgery to repair the broken fibula that cost him the end of last season, though strong and healthy bones shouldn’t be a problem for him.Coach Jay Gruden said during his media session yesterday that McCoy drinks a load of raw milk every day.“I mean, this is a guy who works hard and drinks a gallon of milk every day for strong bones,” Gruden said. “And I think it’s the milk that’s not pasteurized, either.”As noted by our friends at NBC Sports Washington, Gruden made sure we all got the point by saying: “Right out of the teat.”McCoy confirmed to Les Carpenter of the via text message that he was a fan of unpasteurized milk, but that he didn’t drink a gallon a day.“I grew up this way,” McCoy said. “We had dairy cows on the farm — just always have had raw milk. Tastes much better. Until my fibula I’ve never had a broken bone.”McCoy said “Basically have to have your own cow,” when asked how he obtained it, adding that he did not at his Northern Virginia home but that he needed to find one.Of course, there’s a reason it’s hard to find, as pasteurization kills potentially harmful bacteria that can make people very sick — which is why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration doesn’t recommend it. money, money, money... money"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Looks Like Someone Has A Sixpack Of The MondaysDaily SlopRedskins RecapsEDTShareTweetShareShareMarch 2019: A deeper dive on the salary cap - Rule of 51 & the Rookie PoolIsaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY SportsPeople have a lot of interest in salary cap right nowThis time of year, fans and journalists spend a lot of time focused on salary cap, but often struggle to really understand the nuances of how salary cap works. It relies on the principles of accrual accounting, which can be complex and difficult, and since some pretty smart lawyers are involved with crafting contracts that are controlled by the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement — a document typically renegotiated every ten years or so — the player contracts and cap implications are often based on arcane principles that defy common sense.I have published a couple of articles previously aimed at explaining the basics of salary cap and NFL contracts:Click here to read A Primer on Salary Cap ManagementClick here to read Why calculating Total Contract Value, APY and Total Guarantee for an NFL contract can be really hardI thought I’d take the opportunity today, in this short window between the ‘frenzied’ part of free agency and the college draft, which is about 5 or 6 weeks away, to look in a bit of detail at some concepts that some people sometimes struggle with.Filling up a 90-man rosterMost teams enter the offseason, say, a week after the final game Charley Taylor Jersey , with about 60 to 70 players under contract for the upcoming league year.For example, in early January, the Redskins had 66 players under contract, while, at the time of writing this article, about a week into free agency, OverTheCap lists 68 players under contract for 2019 (NOT counting the two most recent announced signings, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Ereck Flowers).Obviously, most of these players were on the 53 man roster in Week 17.Some of them were on reserve lists (Reuben Foster and Montae Nicholson, for example).Also, the Redskins have a half dozen or more players who were signed to futures contracts in early January.Click here to read A Primer on Reserve/Future Contractsfor one season.Fullyguaranteed money is $1.5m (comprised entirely of the $1.5m signing bonus).If heplays both years of the contract, his $3m cap hit should be affordable in 2020.The average person, when they read that Adrian Peterson signed a 2 year, $8m deal, reasonably assumes that the Redskins just lost $4m in cap space.As we’ve already seen, due to contract structuring (including incentives making up a large part of the reported $8m), and the Rule of 51, the actual impact on the Redskins available cap space is only $1.21m!We know that through some fancy structuring, the 6-year, $84m Landon Collins contract, with its $14m APY has a 2019 cap number of just $4m.In fact, because Landon Collins pushed Robert Davis and his $570K cap charge below the 51-player cutoff, the net cap hit impact for the Collins contract was just $3.25m!The Rule of 51 and contract structuring make free agents signed this time of year much more affordable than one would expect based on the Twitter reporting that provides the headline numbers on player contracts.Rookie Pool estimatesOne thing that every team must account for is the money needed to sign the draft picks that will be joining the team at the end of April.With the current CBA and its “slotting” of draft picks, teams can project with a great deal of accuracy the cost of each draft pick.Absent any trades, even as fans, it’s easy for us to know how much the Redskins are going to need for their draft class before the draft even starts.Again Art Monk Jersey , though, the Rule of 51 makes the calculation less straighforward than it seems.Step One of the calculation is simply to identify the team’s draft picks, and the expected contract value of each of those picks.Fortunately, the people at OverTheCap do all that work every season for us, and it’s as simple as clicking the link to the Rookie Pool page at OverTheCap.Because of this handy tool, we can see at a glance that the 9 contracts for the incoming draft class are projected to total $7.928m.But that’s not the end of the calculation!Remember that the Rule of 51 means that we’re only counting the 51 highest cap hits for 2018.We won’t actually need to allow $8m for signing the rookies.To run the example, I’m going to account for the fact that the Redskins have signed Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Ereck Flowers to contracts (though their contract details haven’t been made public yet), and I will also assume that the team will sign 1 more veteran free agent between now (when I’m writing this article) and the draft, pushing 3 players off of the current top 51.So, let’s revisit the bottom of that list:Notice that the three veteran free agents signed pushed 3 players off of the top-51 list.Now, the lowest paid player on the list is Trey Quinn, last year’s Mr. Irrelevant.Let’s look at the expected 2018 cap hits for the 9 drafted rookies that the Redskins expect to sign:Rd 1 $2.621mRd 2 $1.174mRd 3 $745,803Rd 3 $700,541 (comp pick)Rd 5 $572,707Rd 5 $553,718 (comp pick)Rd 6 $526,958 (comp pick)Rd 7 $519,473Rd 7 $513,645The Round 1 pick will have a cap hit of $2.621m, but he will push Trey Quinn and his $587,268 cap hit off the list.Net cap hit for Rd 1 pick = $2,033,915The Round 2 pick will have a cap hit of $1.174m, but he will push Greg Stroman and his $588,944 cap hit off the list.Net cap hit for Rd 2 pick = $585,355The Round 3 pick will have a cap hit of $745 Derrius Guice Jersey ,803, but he will push Shaun Dion Hamilton and his $608,252 cap hit off the list.Net cap hit for Rd 4 pick = $137,551The Round 3 compensatory pick will have a cap hit of $700,541, but he will push Shaun Dion Hamilton and his $609,048 cap hit off the list. Net cap hit for Rd 4 pick = $91,493Now the pattern breaks.The lowest remaining salary on the top-51 is Tim Settle’s $637,011.The final 5 draft picks from Rounds 5, 6 & 7 all are projected to have cap hits less than Settle’s 2018 cap number, so these final five draft picks are not counted in the top 51, and have no impact at all on the off-season salary cap.This means that the actual amount of available cap space that the Redskins need to reserve (in this example) is $2,848,314 (The net cap impact of the first four draft picks: $2,033,915+$585,355+$137,551+91,493).The Redskins will need $2.85m to sign their 9 draft picks.Of course, any trades (up or down) will affect these numbers, but, absent a big move in the first round, there will be very little change in the amount of money the Redskins will need to reserve for the rookie pool.Just in case you were wondering, each of these nine players is charged against the Redskins salary cap the moment he is drafted, regardless of when he actually signs his contract.
