After accounting the rookie pool ($7.484 million), we'll be about $0.5-1.5 million under. There's a lot of vet min deals that aren't counted for in the analysis in this thread yet, as well as the John Beck release (about $1 million freed up in cap). Plus, we don't know if the Redskins designated anyone a post June 1 cut (I suspect they did not, but unless it gets reported, it's private info).

The Redskins can still free up money under the cap by extending Fred Davis before the season, but the more interesting issue is the 2013 cap info, which I might throw something together tomorrow on for interested parties. Unless they want to acquire a veteran salary in a trade though, this is a non-issue. They can pretty much set their roster as they choose from the existing pieces.

In a week, PFT or some other source will likely do a post June 1 cap update using the NFL's numbers. Then we'll be up to date.
