And for those who think that Manning's $34M signing bonus was a cap killer, please recall that Danny Boy was reported to have said that he would have given Manning a $40M signing bonus had he had the opportunity. He never had it, so we don't know if he meant that or if that was just some kind of boast on his part...

Saying Indy has more cap space then the redskins is not saying much. We probably have to do some more restructuring and cuts/trades (Gardner) just to sign our rookies.
Your second statement is why the Colts or the Redskins are not currently serious superbowl contenders. Both do not have enough cap space to resign veterans. Last year the Colts lost (pro bowl) LB Washington to us. This year our guys are leaving. The Colts defense does not scare anyone. They will lose Freeney if Huck Finn ( I like that one SKINZ_DOMIN) Manning does not restructure.
