1/29 update is now up

I've verified all the salaries and they are up to date. Will continue to tweak the bonus amounts as new info becomes available. But the bulk of this should be pretty accurate.

i really don't see much of a problem with jammal brown's contract

How far were we below for 2011?

According to Tandler we might have up to $11.9M to carry over to next year:
Rich Tandler's Real Redskins: Salary cap (http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/salary-cap/)

"The new CBA allows teams to carry over unused cap money from one season to the next. According to our sister site Pro Football Talk, the Redskins had $11.9 million in cap space as of Nov. 20. They have eaten into a little of that with some injury replacements and some other roster moves but they still have almost all of it. So if the 2012 salary cap is $125 million as it is projected to be now, the Redskins will have almost $137 million to spend in 2012."

According to my records we had very little if any cap room at the end of 2011. We might get a small credit but I'd be very surprised if it was anywhere near $11.9M.

That's why I asked. I have read stuff like what you just quoted about big numbers we were under, but when I looked at actual figures, I would see far less. I have been going with a slightly educated assumption that the carryover would be about 4 mil. But I have no reason to have any confidence in a number like that.

What actual figures are you referring to? The cap numbers on this site are estimates based on information from different sources. It's normal to be off by a mill or two, but a $12M discrepency seems large. Of course it's possible, but your educated assumption of $4M is probably closer to reality.
