Current cap room?

[skinsfan242]

Currently 4.2 mil under the cap - Thought to be the result of prorating the Roster or Other Bonus money owed this year, can be done without player approval or restructure - and through a restructure already done (Jansen).


MOVES ALREADY MADE
Brunnel
EXPECTED
- Expect to see a salary reduction, I would hope he would go down to the going rate for backups (1 mil) but trying to give the low side for the team I will say 2.5 mil salary for next year is probable. 3.7 mil saved

ACTUAL
-Restructured with a salary cut and saved us 4.38 mil( Not confirmed as the actual details have not been released could be more or less )


THRASH
EXPECTED
-No ST player is worth his cost = 1.3 mil (Not sure since I think he restructured, but based on what is known now)

ACTUAL
-He restructured and will cost us 1.105 mil savings = .320 mil


FAURIA
EXPECTED
-cut and save 1 mil
ACTUAL
-CUT = savings 1 mil


VINCENT
EXPECTED
-Try to resign for vet min. A 5th safety is not worth a extra cap hit of = 1.375 mil

ACTUAL
-CUT = savings of 1.375mil



So far we have saved 4.2 (starting point)
7.075 mil already saved

Total CAP ROOM AVAILABLE S FAR = 11.275

Signings to date
Frost = 850 K tender - Rule of 51 .285 mil = .565 mil
Pucillo = .435 vet min - Rule of 51 .285 mil = .150 mil

Signings so far = .715 mil additional charges to this years cap #

CURRENT CAP SPACE = 10.56 MIL

NOW LETS LOOK AT MOVES THAT CAN STILL BE MADE

Other possible moves

Duckett- will probably opt out of his final year .700
Hall = 1.5 mil savings -PROBABLE
Todd Collins = Make him a coach and save 1.025 mil -NEWS REPORTS SAY PROBABLE
Daniels = Production does not match Contract = 1.4 mil (If roster bonus was paid and prorated - If not then save 1.9 mil)
Patten - Cut and Save .725 mil (1.762 if cut after June 1st) - NEWS REPORTS SAY PROBABLE
Salavea - If we get another DT through FA or the Draft = .720
Wynn = 4th DE not worth the cost = 2 mil Savings

STILL MAKE ADDITIONAL CAP SAVINGS OF 8.07

Probable additional deals to be made

Springs - Talk out of redskins park is he is wanted to take a pay cut to make him on par for the Safety Position. He will probably be gone and I would think they will make him a June 1st cut to save around 4 - 4.5 mil

Other possible restructures - Taking current salary and reducing it to 1 mil and converting the rest to bonus over the life of the contract. (conservative estimates) - personally I wouldnt do any of these due to age and all of these players COULD be cutable after this year for net cap savings or small hits.

Washington - 2 mil
Griff - 2.2 mil
Thomas - 2.25 mil

Other possible restructures can save about 6.5 mil

Without the other Possible restructures the skins can be

10.56 (currently under)
8.07 MIL (cuts)
4 - 4.5 (Probable Moves)
------------------------------
We can realistically be about 22.63 mil under the cap if the above moves are done without the restructures of Washington, Griff, and Thomas.

****ORIGINAL PREDICTION ****Grand total of 23.245 mil to 25.725 mil under the cap or 29.545 - 32.250 mil under if all possible or conceivable restructures are done.


Thanks for reading this long thread.

The are my ratings of what I think of the actual moves 1-5.

*Update #1 - Updated MB's contract and Frosts and fixing the signings cap hit for the rule of 51.
*Update #2 - Updated to add TJ Duckett as a probable cut since he will probably void his last year and currently ESPN has him listed as released.


****If any of my new numbers are wrong or if I miss a signing/restructure/ or release please inform me so that I can edit and correct. I want this to not be a pissing contest between my numbers are better then yours but I want this to be as accurate as possible for my own and other board members peace of mind and reference*******
