Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

OP edited to reflect Bowen release and Compton resigning. Compton contract details not known, assuming $1.0M cap hit for now.

What about Chester's new contract ? I assume he took a serious pay cut

I never saw any news that Chester's contract was restructured or adjusted, if you can provide the link to such news I will look at it and incorporate the impact.

There's nothing on WP or Keim's blog about it at the moment.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

OP edited for the resigning of Duke Ihenacho.

He signs for minimum salary for his tenure, bumping another minimum salary player out of the top 51, so the net impact on the cap is almost 0.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

OP edited to reflect signing of Niles Paul. Tentatively estimating $1.5M cap hit net of the removal of a minimum salary player from the top 51.

Paul reportedly signed for 3 years worth up to $10M if incentives are reached.

Estimated cap hit for Paul will be revised when contract details become available.

I tire of your triflin', son.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

OP updated to reflect the tender offer to Kai Forbath, in the amount of $1.542 million. Counts about 1.0M against the cap once you account for one player being pushed out of the top 51.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

Thx already adjusted that one. Everyone let me know when you find Paea's breakdown. I will put him in at a tentative estimate for now.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

Updated with Knighton and an estimate for Culliver.

Starting to run low on cap room, unless they cleared space that we didn't know about. There was a little birdie saying Chester renegotiated but I never saw anything specific.

There may be more room here than I think but it depends on what deals were reworked.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

^Did you update Paea's cap hit yet?

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

I thought we had between $25-$27M to start, how are we running low already?

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

According to espn article: Redskins interested in signing a second CB.

"If they sign another corner, I’d imagine they would cut Tracy Porter. It wouldn’t make much sense to keep him -- and they could save $2,328,175 against the salary cap."

2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

Cutting Porter and Chester will free up enough to get Cox and should leave some in reserve., I think. But I'd be ok with Culiver and Breeland as our CBs with Amerson in the slot and move DHall over to FS (strong and fast enough for it). Need SS help and O line help (and LB help) but can't do everything in free agency (or in 1 year).

Hopefully the negotiations are progressing with Williams and Kerrigan as well.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

They could/can trade Amerson.

Don't know if Amerson is a fit for slot. D Hall is short for safety. 5'10". Going to have to learn new angles and point of view. Could be tough.

[quote=Mattyk;1109264]I thought we had between $25-$27M to start, how are we running low already?[/quote]

That's the thing, the starting point listed here may be missing a bit of room. But it won't be by $10M, we'd only be missing a couple million or so.

Just look at the impact of all the dudes we signed, it adds up.

They can clear more space if they want. For example, if they signed Kerrigan or Trent to an extension now it could result in reducing the cap number.

I agree, if Amerson can not hold down a starting CB position due to his poor play, There is no way he can handle the more difficult slot CB role.

I see it this way in base 3-4 or 4-3;
Cullver #1 CB
Breeland #2CB

In the nickle, if Hall is healthy and back to old self, I see Breeland and Hall outside CB and Culliver in slot. Culliver is now our best cover corner although Breeland is impressing more and more.

This is a long shot, but Amerson should get a look at FS. I know that sounds crazy, but 6'1' and 200 pounds, he has the size, youth and athletic skills. In college he had a good amount of int's, but as soon as everyone discovered he would bite on the double move, receivers have had him off balance ever since. He lost his edge. Amerson can not consistently cover NFL caliber WR's in man form the line of scrimmage.
By moving him to FS it would take him away from playing man on a WR. That difficult task would now be Culliver and Breeland's. Amerson is now over the top waiting, he would go back to being a ball hawk, which he has done pretty well in the past. This might work. Devin McCourty was a CB moved to FS.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

I just did a review. Embarrassingly (for an accountant/finance guy) I was starting from the wrong spot. I was counting the total cap dollars, but rules say the top 51 players count against the cap during the offseason.

I've reconciled and adjusted the original post. It now ties out to OverTheCap and had the starting point for cap room at about $25M per media reports.

We now show $12.7M in cap room after signing Knighton and Culliver (Culliver had a lower cap hit than I thought for the first season).

We could clear more cap space by extending Trent or Kerrigan. We could also cut Porter to save $2.3M, do something with Paulsen, or renegotiate Chester somehow.

Sorry for that mistake. No time like the present to get it right.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

Thanks Schneed. You do a great job for all of us here. I like overthecap.com, but you add the Skins perspective and do a great job every year.

Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
 

Thanks. At least I got to tell everyone we have more cap space than I thought and not the other way around, lol.
