Redskins 2014 Salary Cap Status

[Schneed10]

But of course with a salary that equals the average of the top 10 QBs in the NFL, the Skins might decide it's in their best interests to just lock him up before they get to the point where they have to pay him that salary. Avg of the top 10 will be a very high one year deal. It's almost the equivalent of franchising him.

If I were them I would definitely want to see how he performs with Gruden this year in a potential bounce-back year. If all goes well then maybe I start up negotiations, and activate that 5th year option if the negotiations don't go quickly.

If all doesn't go well then I've got some weird decisions facing me, but cross that bridge when you get to it.

I cannot post new threads due to my account status. Apparently I cant even post links.

But the appeals court has reinstated the collusion case of the cap penalty. You can find the article on pro football talk among other places.

So, I am hoping that one of our cap guru's can help out here. According to overthecap.com, we are already in the hole. I know that can't be right, but they haven't updated in a while.

BUT with Hall's 2million going on IR, and Ihenacho at about 570 (though he wasn't on our active roster for the first game, so maybe his number doesn't count?). Are we going to have to renegotiate either Garcon, or Williams. And is there a better one to do at this point?

Seems like we are absolutely capped out right now?

Anyone gotten a chance to look at what our numbers could be looking like next year? I know there are some potential cuts like Chester, Bowen, Porter and new deals like Kerrigan, but I know we've got some really smart cap people here and sadly we've been looking at next season for the past couple weeks now.

The NFL has stated that next year's cap will be about $140M. The NFL Player's union thinks it will be higher, but let's go with the $140M for now.

Cap: $140M
2015 Redskins Cap Total: $123.7M
Current Room: $16.7M

Expected Cuts (what I'd expect to happen):
Bowen $5.5M
Chester $4.0M
Porter $2.8M
Paulsen $1.8M
4 Players Replacing at Min Salary: ($2.0M)
Total Cut Impact: $12.1M

Expected room after cuts: $28.8M, and that's probably conservative.

Plenty of room to fill holes, but amazingly probably not enough to fill ALL the holes. We just have so many, sadly.

Still, you can create more space by extending Trent Williams who is going into the final year of his contract in 2015. Could do something with Garcon, too.

I just don't want to see a bunch of junk investments. $4M for Lauvao and crap like that doesn't do it for me. Have to pay for safeties.

Agreed and thanks.

While I hope we smartly invest in proper scouting to build the team through the draft, like you said we have so many holes that free agency will have to factor in pretty heavily. What type of contract do you think we offer Kerrigan and was your space also taking into account Orakpo's contract coming off the books?

For Kerrigan, my numbers above assume he plays on the one year option they signed him for, at the salary of $7.0M per his rookie contract.

I think they offer him a long term deal in the offseason that keeps the cap hit at that level or slightly lower in 2015. He'll get good guaranteed money.

My numbers assume Orakpo's gone. I don't think they'll try to sign him for much more than a couple mill per year. Way too much risk.

[Orakpwned]

Yeah no more Andre Roberts and Shawn Lauvao.

Sign a CB (Byron Maxwell?) please.
