The Redskins front office continues to take shape, and the team recently signed Eric Schaffer, who oversees the salary cap and aids in contract negotiations, to a new deal, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. The Redskins refused to grant permission to New Orleans to interview Schaffer for their cap vacancy earlier this offseason, and he has been one of the longest-serving members of the football operations staff. The Redskins declined to comment on whether or not Louis Riddick received a new deal. The contracts on many scouts and football operations staff are set to expire this summer, and Vinny Cerrato promoted Scott Campbell ahead of Riddick earlier this offseason.

ok, maybe every other NFL team knows how we get under the cap and stuff but don't want to do it because it requires handing out alot of cash. therefor, eric really isn't anything special, but maybe he is and the NFL has no idea how we do it (tho i don't believe that). Either way, he is the guy who's title is cap manager, so it falls with him regardless of how we make it happen or if it is because of him, he gets the credit.

the deal was probably backloaded with a ton of incentives and roster bonus designed to be converted to signing bonus later on
