The Facts: DE Andre Carter and Randle El have new deals with the team, according to league sources, a move done to lower their 2009 cap costs (the Redskins entered this month between $5-$7 million over the projected salary cap).

Diehards Line:Both players had deals set to expire after 2012; their new contracts run through 2015 (not that it's likely either would still be here then). Randle El's new deal saves $2 million in cap space for next season, and lowers his base salary from $4 million to $1.5 million according to the Post's sources.
