This thread is also designed to house analysis and insight regarding the Redskins' likely course of action in free agency and the draft. The salary cap can often provide an indication of the team's intended approach to free agency - aggressive vs passive, etcetera.

We'll start off with a summary of the Redskins current cap situation and where they're likely headed before free agency opens in March.

In short, the numbers in the table below illustrate that the Redskins are currently $1.4 million under the cap. This assumes that Brunell and Cartwright's contracts have voided. And then once the team makes some more standard moves listed below, the team should have an estimated $10.4 million in cap room heading into free agency.

Numbers presented below are in millions:

You cap geeks do a GREAT JOB explaining this to dumb asses like me. Great post! My question is about Springs. He has a huge number this year. I remember it being 7 or 8 mil. I just don't think he is worth the $ he's getting paid. Do you think he's going to stay? Are they going to ask him to take a pay cut again? I remember they did last year and he called their bluff.
