^^^ updated cap sheet

The NFL has stated that next year's cap will be about $140M. The NFL Player's union thinks it will be higher, but let's go with the $140M for now.

Cap: $140M
2015 Redskins Cap Total: $123.7M
Current Room: $16.7M

Expected Cuts (what I'd expect to happen):
Bowen $5.5M
Chester $4.0M
Porter $2.8M
Paulsen $1.8M
4 Players Replacing at Min Salary: ($2.0M)
Total Cut Impact: $12.1M

Expected room after cuts: $28.8M, and that's probably conservative.

Plenty of room to fill holes, but amazingly probably not enough to fill ALL the holes. We just have so many, sadly.

Still, you can create more space by extending Trent Williams who is going into the final year of his contract in 2015. Could do something with Garcon, too.

I just don't want to see a bunch of junk investments. $4M for Lauvao and crap like that doesn't do it for me. Have to pay for safeties.

^^ post from Schneed back in Dec with projected cap cuts.


I think we are in a healthy cap space. We have room to do some things or play it safe and not commit a lot of future cap.

I was listening to ravens radio and they have a good bit of cap problems. glad we have room.
