Not sure where you get this. Our deadcap is $2.4M including $2M for AH.

- My current sheets have our 51 number at $87M. Add in the $2.4M deadcap, Monty's contract, and another $1M for Stallworth's deal and I get to $93.1M, pretty close to the article.

$93.5 is the NFLs number. I really don't think it includes the recent moves of Montgomery, etc. I could be wrong on that.

There was also the Rabach release, as well as the Mike Williams release and McNabb trade, which all would create deadcap the same way as Haynesworth, just because they were post June 1 moves.

I still think it's dumb that they had moves that went post 6/1 in the accounting when there was a lockout for three months leading up to 6/1.

You could be right I'm not sure either, but it came out on the 28th so Monty's deal could be in there.

I think it worked a little different this year due to the lockout. There was a grace period with no deadcap charges which exempted guys like Portis, McNabb, etc. Haynesworth got a deadcap charge cuz he was traded later on.

It doesn't matter anyways, all our figures are in the same ballpark.

[GTripp0012]

I can assure the accuracy of this $35.25 number reconciled with the official NFL report from yesterday.

There will be no accounting for the $36 million penalty here because the Redskins can just pay whatever remains on their 2012 cap (if the penalty stands at all). That will be a big part of the 2013 cap analysis though if it stands.

[GTripp0012]

The numbers aren't changing all that much from the last update, but the main changes:

-adjusted salary cap estimate down
-raised the total of committed money from $86.3 million to $93.5 million (most of the difference is deadcap from Haynesworth, McNabb et al)
-added the cap numbers for Montgomery and Scott
-put allowances for outstanding or impending contract tenders with Gano, Westbrook, Lichtenstiger, as well as showed the cap room with and without the Fred Davis franchise tender.

The Redskins are working with an estimated $14 million to improve the team if they resign all five of the their top UFAs (Fletcher, Landry, Davis, Carriker, Hightower). If they let all these guys walk, it's $34 million. If they franchise Davis, and let the rest walk, it's $28.5 million.

As always, they can recoup some salary cap space by working restructures and releases, namely with Hall. They sit on about $10 million of available cap room with existing players.

[GTripp0012]

Updated with Davis' franchise tender:

We're working with $30.4 million. I estimate it would cost about $11.5 million more to bring everyone back. And remember, Davis cap number can be brought down via long term deal.

I have also changed the overall cap projection w/o Landry in the picture.

[GTripp0012]

Moved Westbrook to UFA, and adjusted the numbers. Nothing much changes.

And I'm pulling Landry as a projected re-signing due to multiple reports that the Redskins are no longer serious suitors for his services next season. Will put him back if something unexpected gets done.

this thread is beautiful. thank you to everyone who works on the cap charts
