Current Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2009

But since the economy crashed in September, is that even a reasonable assumption? I mean, you have the TV deals, and the season ticket sales were already wrapped up at that point, but the single game ticket sales and merchandise revenue had to drop a little bit from last year.

Basically, I think that the cap projection of 123 mil that was made prior to the economic downturn probably affected gross league revenues, and I would be surprised if the cap pushed north of 119 mil.

And if this can be construed as an excuse for getting rid of Casey Rabach, then count me in.

Who replaces him if we're too broke to meddle in FA? Jansen?

Well, yeah, the in house options are Jansen, Rinehart, or a draft choice. I think the money saved on Rabach could be reinvested in Jason Brown, who the Ravens appear to be willing to let walk.

Should have gotten Jeff Faine last year, and then we wouldn't be in this situation now.

Thanks for this thread Schneed. I must admist that I haven't been very knowledgable about the salary cap and how it effects the roster. This thread has helped me considerably with everyone's questions.
I'll not post on this again because I prefer to read.
