Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca

In terms of cap consequences Carriker is the only big name. (Per the cap sheets)

Carriker release saves 3.2 in cap space.
Rocca = 1.2M
Quinn = .7M
Jamison, Megget = ~.5 each.

Net savings ~6M, though I am sure that it isn't that simple.

It almost is. Just add back about $500K each for the next 5 guys moving back into the top 51. So net cap room cleared is about $3.6M.

Likewise, if we sign another player for $1.5M, he bumps someone out of the top 51. So subtract $500K for a net cap hit of $1.0M.

I just looked at the cap sheets again, according to the "Cap Summary" and my count, neither Megget nor Jamison were in the top 51.

If that's true, then cutting them wouldn't save space anyway - right?

Tandler pegged current cap room nearly $21.5 mil.
