Agreed.. I (and I'm pretty sure I can speak for most of people at here) would be totally lost and stuck in dark for whole time until signing occurs if it weren't for u guys.. Thanks guys!

Over 13M in cap space AFTER signing Haynesworth? Thats simply amazing. Thats enough we could actually afford to take the cap hit if we wanted to cut or trade some players.

unless they have big plans, i don't understand why they cut jason taylor as well.

There are still some holes to fill, mainly at LB, RT, and possibly a punter.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

welcome panda. Taylor didnt want to work out with the team and this team is now rid of two guys who always felt they were too good to work out and practice with their team in the offseason.

We could have something big in the works (like a trade for a big name player), but I think if we did, we would have heard some rumblings by now. I'm personally hoping we wanted to get rid of someone who wasnt worth their keep. Now, weve got plenty of room to make several acquisitions to improve the quality of the depth on our team and maybe even pickup a starting DE or LB.

Just got the salary info for Haynesworth and Dockery.

I still have Haynesworth at $7.9M but Dockery is now at $4.1M.

Updated cap room: $11.08M

Thanks CC. Reflected in the first post.

i thought they would be fine between jansen and heyer at rt. it would be nice to add a decent lb on the outside. i don't know why they cut frost last year.

They cut him for the same reason he was cut by Green Bay later on. He sucks.

Because he didn't want to work out, so he doen't have his heart in the game. Read, Cooley's blog. Bill Parcels knew something about Taylor. I for one leaped pretty high when he was signed last year after we lost Daniels and still give credit to Snyder and Co. for picking him up. His heart's not into it so he has to go. BYE BYE

I'm a bit confused by something. According to the information on this site, the Redskins are 12-13M under the cap.

However, this mornings RedskinsInsider blog had this to say,

Does T.O. Make Sense for Skins? - Redskins Insider

There's also the cap issue. We're still waiting to hear from league sources about the Redskins' exact cap number, but Cerrato recently said the team only has a little flexibility to meet its remaining needs.

How can we have 12-13M in cap space, yet have "little flexibility"? It just doesnt make sense. Any thoughts?

I second that question. Unless they think T.O. is going to command big money, which he won't and should not.

I can only think of two possibilities:

1) The cap information here is incorrect (its my understanding the cap gurus here never had the actual contract information and were basing their numbers on how the skins "normally" structure deals).

2) The skins have "ear-marked" a certain amount of cap space for other purposes.

The cap info here is not official, but it's usually very close.

Blasphemy! :FIREdevil

One quick question to the cap gurus, you have Evans listed in your possible signings...since he signed with the 49ers are you guys assuming they'll pick up a DE at the same price?
