Billable hours = must check minutia
Must check minutia = no resolution soon

So it turns out Morgan's cap number is $3.1 million, not $2.9 with the workout bonus that he is basically guaranteed to get.

So it turns out Morgan's cap number is $3.1 million, not $2.9 with the workout bonus that he is basically guaranteed to get.You are correct. And Carriker is 1.75 instead of 1.70 for the same reason.

Net subtraction of $250,000 in cap space.

PCinOZ thinks that the Carriker buyback will end up as a $1 mil cap charge in 2012. It's possible, but I'm not sure about that. I would think it's at least offset in 2012.

I am very excited to see how the redskins will structure all their contracts when the season comes. Considering we are looking at Royal, Ross, Grubbs, Winston; I am baffled as to where our cap space comes from this year AND next year when we will not get the 13 million in cap credits we got this year (I think...unless using this years 18 mil in unused cap next year to cancel out is the silver lining). Anyone know how cap credits are to work for us next year? Or what we can salvage as compensation?

I'd think the opposite. We should get a $1M credit if he exercises his option.

You know what I've learned to do? Sit back and trust the numbers guys. They know what they're doing. I don't even try to figure it out on my own.

Lol, so do most people. But to me what makes football far and away better than any other sport is how it is structured from a business perspective, specifically the cap rules. Its fun for me to follow the numbers, which is why I came to thewarpath in the first place...the cap sheet.
