Brian Orakpo could become a FA.... PFT
@ProFootballTalk: Report: Washington has yet to make an "official offer" to Orakpo http://t.co/rr4jexjjiH
With two years of unfair cap penalties set to expire, the Washington Redskins have been trying to re-sign some of their defensive players who would otherwise become free agents. But it’s one thing to work out new deals with DeAngelo Hall and Chris Baker. It’s quite another to finalize a new contract with Brian Orakpo. According to Mike Jones of the Washington Post, the team had yet to make an “official offer” to Orakpo as of Friday afternoon. It’s not clear what that means. “Official offers” often aren’t made in negotiations like this. Agents and teams speak in term of concepts and ranges and hypotheticals until it appears that the time has come to get serious. For the team, that time could be now. Otherwise, the franchise tag of $13.116 million could be coming. Absent the franchise tag or the little-used transition tag (or a long-term deal), Orakpo will become a free agent on March 11. |

From the numbers i have seen we would take a 500k cap hit/loss by moving Hali this year.

Report: Redskins agonizing over whether to keep Orakpo
Posted by Mike Florio on March 1, 2014, 6:10 PM EST Orakpo AP If the Washington Redskins haven’t made an “official offer” to linebacker Brian Orakpo, there’s a good reason for it. They haven’t decided whether they want to keep him. Mark Maske of the Washington Post reports that the team isn’t sure whether to make the financial commitment necessary to keep Orakpo around. “I think there’s a lot of back and forth on it,” an unnamed source with knowledge of the team’s deliberations told Maske. “I don’t think it’s clear cut.” Maske also explains that it’s a “really close call” on whether the Redskins will apply the franchise tag to Orakpo before Monday’s deadline. A decision to tag Orakpo could be followed by a Terrell Suggs-style fight over whether he’s really a defensive end, which has a 2014 tender amount of $13.116 million. The franchise tag for linebackers is $11.455 million. The Redskins also could apply the transition tag to Orakpo, which would give them a right to match but not compensation if he leave. It would cost $9.754 million at linebacker, $10.633 million at defensive end. And if Orakpo signs the tender, the money will become fully guaranteed. The Redskins have a history of spending bigger money on free agents from other teams than on their own players, a practice that can send a bad message to a locker room full of young players hoping to be rewarded financially for their efforts. It’s always better for those players to think they’ll get their reward without having to move to a new city. Permalink 3 Commen |

Orakpo has literally one move he's used his entire pass rushing career. He's a homeless man's Hali.
