Kudos for running such a good site, and keeping such a good cap accountant around in CC. His stuff makes analyzing the numbers pretty easy.
By the way, your user title is right on. Doesn't matter what the rule is, the Deion Rule, the 30% Rule, whatever. Every year the Redskins swarm a pack of contract lawyers on those sections of the CBA, and every year they find a way to circumvent the cap. This year it was done in the form of option bonuses (see Samuels and Haynesworth). Cash is king, the cap is flimsy.
It's a big reason why I'm not so concerned about a capless NFL. We're already operating around the cap's obstacles anyway. Doing away with it just makes it easier on the front office. Either way, we still get our guys.

You and CC do a nice job here at breaking down the cap. I don't even try to sound like an expert, you guys have that situation covered so well.
On NFL radio this morning when they were talking about the deal Randy Cross kept referring to how much cash FedEx field brings in and for the Skins and cash is what enables them to make these types of moves. It was kind of nice to hear someone who actually understands what the Skins are doing and doesn't just throw out the tired phrases of "does the cap not apply to the Skins?".
