According to Over the Cap - NFL Salary Cap, Player Contracts, and Related News and Analysis the Redskins had $1.2 million in 2016 cap space prior to the Roberts move. If the June 1 designation was used, at the start of next month they will gain the $4 million from Roberts. They already are slated to add $8 million in cap space due to the release of Chris Culliver with a June 1 designation. That will send them into the summer with $13.2 million in cap space.

My statement was in the opinion if Doctson did very well in training camp and came in with the #2 spot in hand (or close to it). Would you pay a #3 WR 10million in cap? I surely wouldn't. I'd cut and use that carry over to help sign Kirk next year to a long term deal. That's the point, not if we have the cap space, but whether we should carry that unused space of his into next season. That would be shaving 8 mil off the cap this season, and carry that 8 mil (plus his contract coming off the books) into next season. Makes very nice if you have to sign a QB to a hefty contract. It's not like we're running a shortage of playmakers. I think I look at the cap much differently than many of you all. Am I suggesting cutting Garcon because he's worthless? Absolutely not. Am I suggesting we save some cap to carry over into next season. Most definitely. Mind you, this is all with the notion that our other WRs step up in camp.

It's not that of a far fetched idea or notion.
