Re: 2015 Redskins Cap Status
I just did a review. Embarrassingly (for an accountant/finance guy) I was starting from the wrong spot. I was counting the total cap dollars, but rules say the top 51 players count against the cap during the offseason.
I've reconciled and adjusted the original post. It now ties out to OverTheCap and had the starting point for cap room at about $25M per media reports.
We now show $12.7M in cap room after signing Knighton and Culliver (Culliver had a lower cap hit than I thought for the first season).
We could clear more cap space by extending Trent or Kerrigan. We could also cut Porter to save $2.3M, do something with Paulsen, or renegotiate Chester somehow.
Sorry for that mistake. No time like the present to get it right.
