Re: Redskins 2014 Salary Cap Status
 

[quote=Schneed10;1062904]Consider this a rough draft, but here's where I think we stand:

[B]Space entering today: $21.1M[/B]

Andre Roberts: ($2.9M)
Santana Moss: ($1.5M) [I]assumed[/I]
Adam Hayward: ($1.0M)
Shawn Lauvao: ($2.8M) [I]assumed[/I]
Perry Riley: ($3.5M) [I]assumed[/I]
Five Players Bumped from Top 51: $2.5M

[B]Current Estimated Cap Space: $11.9M[/B]

I made an awful lot of assumptions in coming up with that, mostly based on patterns they seem to be showing with these $4M per year contracts to D Hall, Riley, Lauvao, and Roberts. There could be more space if they backloaded the contracts a bit more than I think. Consider this a conservative estimate. They could have $13M.[/quote]

Thanks. Good stuff.

I have a question. How much cap space will be needed to sign our 6 draft picks? Especially curious since we don't have a 1st rounder...

Not much, because for every one you sign it bumps someone else out of the top 51. Figure $1M for all of them combined, at most.

[quote=Schneed10;1062905]Also, the Lauvao signing calls into question the status of Chester, Lichtensteiger, or Montgomery. Releasing any one of these guys would free up $2M - $3M in cap space. If Steiger moves to C then Montgomery could be history.

And if the 'Skins get a DL they like, I'd expect Stephen Bowen could be released to free up space.[/quote]

Spells death for Monty. I'd bet dollars to donuts they move kory to C.

I hope your assumptions are a little high.... most of the time the signing bonus is paid upfront, however it's cap cost is spread over the length of the contract...... the first year salary is very low, and then the yearly salary escalates

Yes thank you. You're new so I'll give you a pass on this. When it comes to the cap, I'm the one who knocks.

Re: Redskins 2014 Salary Cap Status
 

I think Bowen, Chester, Wilson, Morgan AND Montgomery need to be cut. Is there a reason they haven't been cut as of yet? Is the penalty lessened if we wait until a certain date on any of them? All four of them should net us around 10-11 mil more, right?

Wilson as in Josh?

His contract expired, he's not with the team.

You see? I haven't been paying attention in class!

Thank god. Now we have to get Morgan, Chester, Bowen and Monty outta here, free up some more space.

Morgan is out of here also. His contract voided after two years. We have some dead money still but that will be gone after this year.
