Raiders reportedly going to have $30M in dead cap space this year & are talking w/ Vince Young. Has to be tough to be a Raiders fan.

They still have about 15MM in cap space, so they're better off that us from a cap perspective.... But orgazationally, they're horrible. Definitely feel sorry for their fans.

Are you sure about that? if they have 30M in dead cap, 15M in cap space, that would mean their current cap charges are about 78M, 13M of which is Carson Palmer alone. I don't think you can field a team at the 65M mark, can you?

Edit: Bleacher Report agrees with you.

I think part of the plan from day one was to go down the entire roster and have veteran players restructure contracts. We still don't know who the Redskins will sign in free agency or what's left of free agency, but it's good to know that we have players that are all about the good of the team.

Maybe i'm being overly cynical, but I think its less about players doing whats good for the team and more about players realizing what we're offering them is still more than theyd get from anywhere else.

Are the Skins gonna have to trade a current player for a CB/S on another team? Is there a big June 1st cut looming? I can't see how any FA difference-makers can be afforded.

[Skinzman]

We cant afford it now without a restructure. But keep in mind, its a deep draft for secondary. I think there will be a lot of safeties and CB's getting cut during TC due to the new crop of rookies coming into the league. So trading a player for secondary help is something I dont see happening.

[That Guy]

they killed june 1st cuts more or less. you can designate 2 june 1st cuts and release them now instead.

Sorry all, I'll get to an update as soon as I can. Info is scarce so it will be full of assumptions and ultimately will confirm what Shanahan has been saying, that we have little to no room.

Get comfortable. Our free agents will come few and far between as we search for value in character guys with something left to prove. There's something to be said for the locker room impact of having multiple guys who feel they have to scratch and claw to earn their stripes.

Is Jammall Brown still on the roster?
His Wiki says he still a Skin....those are usually up to date.
Or is his cap affect over and done with?

I found this great site. I am sure somebody is going to tell me I should have read thru 136 posts becuse it is already been posted. But I think if thats the case it still would be worth posting again.

good site. They have us with $2,976,031 in cap space. the only thing that the site doesn't have (that I saw) is an update date, so I don't know what that does or doesn't include.

On the team page, it has EJ Biggers as a 1.5M cap hit this year, so that would seem to me fairly updated.

I believe that money has to cover the rookie pool, plus most teams go into the season leaving some in case of emergency, so it's not much play room. Also, they have us with 67 signed players, I would imagine we want to be around 80, even the rule of 51 minimizes that impact for now.
