Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Thrash, 32, who has been a special teams player and a solid receiver in limited duty, was set to make $1.3 million in base salary in 2007, but some of that money was converted into a bonus, trimming about $380,000 of Washington's cap. He also received a two-year extension as part of the deal, the sources said. ... Several more players will have to agree to lower their cap figures in order to make space to sign free agents, including Mark Brunell.
