2017 Redskins Salary Cap Status

[Schneed10]

I agree with the approach to pursue solid starters. I would definitely hope McCloughan continues to avoid the "Day 1" free agents. The Giants got a pretty good player in Olivier Vernon but he's among the most highly paid defensive players in the NFL. That eventually comes back to haunt you.

I hope McCloughan lets the market set itself over the first couple weeks, but then pays the freight necessary to avoid being left with gaping holes at some of these key spots.

It's a fine line to walk but he's got to do it. We have some glaring needs.
