Current Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2008

[MTK]

I'm not sure if they will go after a big name or not. $3.4M in cap space isn't much room to do anything, so they need to clear up more room regardless.

Especially since we used about 1/3 of it to sign Collins.

$1.5 million cap hit - $0.3 rule of 51 credit = $1.2 million cap spent this year on TC.

So we're back down in the 2.3-2.2 room range.

Yeah I agree with this. My summary at the top of this thread shows we can clear up to $16 million in room, but that's only if we choose to restructure everyone I listed. It very well could be that the Skins want to be measured this time, and go ahead and eat the cap space for those players in '08 without clearing the space they could. This would certainly be wise from a long-term standpoint, as they'd increase their flexibility in 2009 and beyond.

Or like TMC said, they could be trying to clear the space to trade for someone like, I dunno, Ocho Cinco and pay him a king's ransom.

It's hard to say. Fun time of year though, either way!
