Redskins 2013 Salary Cap Status

tell you what, i'd take a 40k signing bonus and be happy with it.

That's what I was thinking. Where do I sign? :)

Sounds like we cleared up about $2M from the Moss restructure. We also got $816,000 back from the NFL for unearned incentives from last year.

Per HTTR24-7 on Twitter we're about $4M under the cap right now.

Still need more room for the rookie pool and any additional free agents. More work to do.

Honestly, I'm cool with cutting Josh Wilson, London (even though they said they wouldnt) and giving new deals to Orakpo and Trent. Chester? I wouldn't cut him because he was better than Lichtensteiger last year, but Lichtensteiger signed a very cheap deal, and we have LeRibeus whom Foerester said is a starter, so maybe we should make the move sooner rather than later on Chester. Does Josh Morgan go? Its going to get interesting in the next 4 hours

I didnt realize this was the last year of Orakpo's deal. Now would be the time to give him a new deal, but i dont know what kind of deal we would give him that he would accept. From the teams perspective, he's been inconsistent and is coming off an injury. He and his agent no doubt consider him one of the leagues elite pass rushers. I dont see the two sides finding an acceptable common ground until he plays out the 2013 season (or atleast most of it).

I dont see any reason why Williams would WANT to restructure his deal. He's currently under contract through 2015 with enormous salaries in 2014 and 2015. I would argue his current contract is already more than he's worth.

Edit: wrong thread

I hope that is a joke. I can't imagine cutting our best DB (and taking a cap hit thereby) when we have other DB needs to fill.

No joke, he is a nickleback at best in this league. He gets pushed around too much. He was slightly better than DHall but thats not saying much. I was suggesting we cut him and sign Talib and Toler, two guys who can compete.

So basically we would have a defense pretty much made of free agents, short term fixes for long term problems. I am glad the Redskins can't sign many free agents. You should really only have 2-4 free agents on your defense, 2-4 free agents on your offense. Everyone else should be drafted. There is something called "chemistry", in football that is important. Copy the good old Ravens. Or the 49ers, or the Packers, I'll settle for their success.

I left out the fact that I'd also draft 2 CBs in the draft and see what Richard Crawford looks like in year 2 as well as this 'amazing CB' we got in Chase Minnifield.

So you want the same secondary that an expansion team has: a couple of FA's and draft choices who are thrown together without concern for knowledge of scheme or chemistry. Great.

I would add that Josh Wilson is better than you give him credit for.
