This thread is also designed to house analysis and insight regarding the Redskins' likely course of action in free agency and the draft. The salary cap can often provide an indication of the team's intended approach to free agency - aggressive vs passive, etcetera.

We'll start off with a summary of the Redskins current cap situation and where they're likely headed before free agency opens in March.

In short, the numbers in the table below illustrate that the Redskins are currently $5.8 million over the cap. Once Brunell and Cartwright's contracts void, they will be $2.1 million over the cap. And then once the team makes some more standard moves listed below, the team should have an estimated $9.7 million in cap room heading into free agency.

Numbers presented below are in millions:

Thanks for the update - so Brunell and Cartwright are the only two players with the voidable deals upcoming for this season?

Didn't see anything in there specifically about Jon Jansen...do any of these figures reflect the effect of him restructuring?

Yes, Jansen's restructured deal is reflected in the numbers at the top of the analysis, within the current state section.
