Redskins 2013 Salary Cap Status

I beleive cuts aren't official until March 12th.

Hmm...how is it possible to replace 2 starting CB (Hall + Wilson) for 4.1M?
I just don't see how this would work. We need starting CBs more than a starting TE or LG..I just don't understand how we can keep Wilson and replace/restructure Hall for 4.1M.

PS...great work at usual!

You're misreading me. I'm saying that after making all the moves I listed, they'd have $4.1M in cap space, including restructures of D Hall and J Wilson (that first section is not necessarily cuts).

I couldn't update the OP in this thread. Mods, what do you think is better? Is it better to have the OP continuously updated to reflect the latest? In that case, you lose the trail of changes along the way as I make them.

Or is it better to keep the trail, and just have me add posts at the end like this when I make a change? You keep the trail, but users have to know to search for the latest throughout the thread.

I leave the decision how to handle in your capable hands.

I updated the original post with your latest March 2 update. I can do this in the future as well.

I think it's better this way, otherwise everyone has to keep quoting your latest update and the thread gets long. This way everyone can check the first post for latest updates, and make comments in the thread to discuss further.

Great work as always Schneed.

Could we extend Josh Morgan? Lower his cap number this year then add another year on his contract...

I would be for giving him some more gaurnteed jack to get his number down, and keep him for a couple more years.

We've got a little bit of news that has trickled in over the last few days.

- The cap came in at $123.0 instead of the $120.6 as expected.

- Jamaal Brown is gone as expected.

- Darrell Young has been resigned as expected. He signs a 3 year deal with a $1M signing bonus. Base salaries not immediately known.

- Logan Paulsen has just been resigned by the team, as expected, to a three year deal. Because contract terms are not yet available at this point, I won't change the cap hit I had in place for him ($1.0M less the $400K replacement player). I'll update as soon as info comes available - feel free to link me to news on Paulsen or Young's financial terms and I'll update this.

- London Fletcher has announced his intent to return, and per John Keim at the Examiner the Redskins will not ask him to take a paycut (right thing to do). So I'm taking him off the restructure list.

Logan Paulsen's 3-year deal is worth a max of $7M w/incentives & escalators. His signing bonus is $1.1M. The 3rd yr voids based on playtime.

Rich Tandler ‏@Rich_TandlerCSN
Cap hit from Logan's deal probably $973K assuming he's getting 4th-year min this year. Will add $493K to cap after removing one from top 51

Good stuff Matty thanks. I was off by $0.1M on him. I need to up my game.

Moving fast and furious. Rob Jackson resigns for one year. Word is per Redskins Insider it's more cap friendly than the $1.3M tender he otherwise would have. If that proves to be the case, then I had overestimated the cost on Jackson. This gives us $0.8M more space than I had thought.
