This was changed. At this point, I'm getting 3.5 million in cap room, which now jumps off your 13.6 with added estimations for Haynesworth, Hall, and Dockery, plus the $4 million increase in the cap limit.

It has occurred to me the Redskins may want to get a punter worth a crap. I haven't seen anything saying they plan to do so, though.

Thanks for the info, CC.

I think i heard they looked at hunter smith, but the money is pretty tight now.

if the deals were haynesworth (41/5 + .745 = 8.945) hall (22.5/5 + .745 = 5.245), and dockery (8.5/5 + .745 = 2.445) that's 16.635mill.

that's 5 years proration on bonuses + vet min for years in the NFL. If the bonuses are guaranteed, according the the rules for this year, they're either pro-rated, like the signing bonus, or count 100% or 50% towards 2009's cap (50% if the guaranteed money is to be paid after 2012). I don't know the status on at least 8mill of haynesworth's guarantees, so i'm assuming proration for now, since that's the smallest 2009 cap hit.

the 8mill might be some type of split bonus but i'm not sure you can call non-guaranteed money as part of the 41$mill guarantee.
