A summary:

- Currently $10.1 million in cap room

- Will be $14.1 million by the start of free agency

- Projected signings (Schneed's forecast): Haynesworth (6.0), Hall (4.0), Kendall (1.5), Montgomery (1.0), Golston (1.0), Suisham or a similar kicker (1.0), Evans (1.0), our draft picks (2.5)

- Forecasted cap space after my projected signings: $2.1 million. So we could fit a Canty in there as well.

No FA signings to help the o-line or OLB? I just think that forces us to rely very heavily on the draft i.e. basically getting two starters in the 1st and 2nd or 1st and 3rd rounds? I like the idea but man that requires our FO to do much better scouting than we've shown in a long time.

There could still be other signings. This is a lot of space we're working with here.

I'd up the projected tenders a half million for Monty and Golston each. The 2nd round tender has been set at 1.5 million.

Don't know where I heard it, but I heard today that Suisham's 1.0 tender has been offered and accepted. I'll see if I can dig up a link.

If you verify this GTripp I am going to throw myself down some stairs. I would rather bring back Ola Kimrin instead of this ass hat.

Well I'm not the missing link, but I can vouch for your Suisham comment. I heard the same thing

I'd say Haynesworth is pretty much a lock now. If I were asked to pick between Canty and Hall, I'd choose Canty no doubt. Canty would mean no Evans though.

I would agree wholeheartedly. There's no other explanation for why the Redskins would seek to clear so much space by restructuring Samuels, Carter, Randle El, and Griffin.

I think the Redskins front office new the cap would be going up to 127 because they have access to league wide revenue data and can easily project the cap number based on revenue sharing rules.

They cleared space beyond the cap limit boost through restructures. That was done purposely for one reason, landing a big fish or two.

I'm so confident in it that I'm almost ready to go buy an authentic Haynesworth jersey.

And if there ever was a cap again, this deal would totally and monstrously screw us over.

[GTripp0012]

And, admittedly, the higher cap drives up the price for Haynesworth. So Schneeds' figure is probably a little low in my opinion, since 6/100 appears to be a reality. But if only 35 million gets guarenteed, it's only about 7.5 mil on the 2009 cap still.

Going to bed as to save a flight of stairs from DirtyLandry.

If I wake up to any form of Ola Kimrin news, your flight of stairs is mine.

This is the worst tourcher for me ever, I am literally like an hour from getting on a bus and starting basic training, and it is gonna take me a while to find out what happened with Haynesworth and Hall! Hail to the Skins, and I will begin posting in 9 weeks!!!!

Are you at the Baltimore MEPS right now? Where are you going to Basic at?

I tried to look backwards but could not figure it out. Do your numbers count on us cutting either JT or SS? or are we able to try for AH even if we keep both? Thanks guys

The way the math works out for me, we can keep both JT and Springs, and still afford to grab Haynesworth, resign Hall, tender the guys important to us, and still MAYBE have room for some OL or LB depth.
