Redskins Salary Cap Status 2018

Thank you. Back then I was using Crazy Canuck's cap numbers, who did yeoman's work keeping track all by his lonesome. I just analyzed them.

Crazy Canuck's cap sheets were the reason I found this site. Though I stayed so I could verbally abuse everybody.

:D

Hah! :D

Is there additional room to be had by restructuring?

Yeah that could be done if the team so chose. Norman, Trent, Kerrigan and Reed would be the targets if that were to be done. But the team really hasn't gone the restructure route since the days of Vinny.

Does this O/S and Free agency have any impact on BS contract situation? He is a top 10 Guard and will command a big pay day.

Could you please rephrase your question? I don't know if it's all the acronyms or the vague descriptions but I'm not entirely clear what you're asking.

Need to Know: Norwell's contract will lead to a big payday for Redskins' Brandon Scherff | NBC Sports Washington (http://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/need-know-norwells-contract-will-lead-big-payday-redskins-brandon-scherff)

Basically I'm asking if this could have any impact on the rest of our spending in 2018?

I see. Yeah Norwell getting that amount probably is a benchmark for Scherff. Norwell was 1st team All Pro last year, Scherff hasn't accomplished that yet. But suffice it to say Scherff will still be deserving of a contract in that general vicinity. Maybe $12M per season, maybe $13M. But whatever, pretty close.

2018 is the last year of Scherff's deal, but we can and probably will exercise his option for 2019. That means we'll need to get him under long term contract by 2020. The team has roughly $100M in cap space in 2020, so we can certainly afford it.

So all that said, no I do not think the Redskins will put the brakes on their free agent spending over the course of the next 3 weeks because they need to be sure they have room to pay Scherff. It's clear the team is in bargain hunting mode now, after having signed Richardson. So any player they get from between now and the draft is not likely to be a high dollar signing - I think they'll get maybe one or two mid tier guys and then a few bargain basement signings. Nothing that would restrict them from locking up Scherff.

I imagine we will lock Scherff up along the lines of TW. Other than the fiasco with the old qb, our FO has been proactive and player friendly with players we want to keep.

I don't imagine we will have to adjust this FA plan at all for his extension next fall.

Ok good deal, thanks for the info. I think we will sigh at least 2 more starters , DRC and hopefully POE. That way we can get a G and RB early.

Overthecap down for anyone else LOL

Any information on Zac Brown's cap number?
