Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2020

In a perfect world, yes. Once an iron man, but 2017 7 games, 2018 9 games and last year 14...35 years old start of season. We can’t keep shooting ourself in the foot.



I’d rather spend a large number on a TE in prime and aim for a prospect in the 3, 4 or 5th round. Bring in another young guy as the 3rd TE/special teamer. I just don’t think we have a luxury to take on Olsen.Our cap should be in good shape, I would rather spend some to have a guy who can link Haskins and Turner plus a few. Heck maybe he doesnt make the final 52, but he would be a good addition especially early on in the season.

We’ve tried older TEs who got hurt year after year and were gone for most of the whole season. We’ve got to try a different narrative. Hire a YOUNG, elite TE where he can grow with Haskins. Draft a TE. But we need at least one big, strong , YOUNG, sure-handed TE.

It is a year away, but this would take sports negotiations to a new level

I’ll be happy to see the NFL go to a 17 game schedule. The fourth game of pre-season is just a waste.

Original post updated to reflect the release of Josh Norman, saving the team $12.4M in cap space in 2020.

I also removed Trent from the likely to be traded or released, given the positive conversations had between Ron and him recently. Anything's possible still but this is my crystal ball, dammit.

If the players want some leverage they should be willing to give up trying to control commissioner discipline powers.

After cutting Norman and Richardson, we have the 9th most cap space of any team. Once we cut Reed, we'll be 6th.

We will have plenty of room to resign our own guys and be big players in free agency.

Original post updated again to reflect the release of Richardson. Deuces.

Thanks for keeping this updated Schneed.
So on Richardson, does the 6M dead money all accelerate to this season?

Exactly, yeah. So the net savings on the cap this year is only $2.5M. You have to eat the $6M in dead cap, but you get rid of $8.5M in salary, hence net $2.5M savings.

Addition by subtraction, irrespective of the cap impact. This makes room for a 4th round rookie or some such who could occupy the roster spot and actually contribute something even if only on teams.
