7. Signed unrestricted free agents from other teams:
Total as of January 17: N/A

8. Salary Cap space after projected re-signings, January 17, 2012 =$15.07 million

9. Rolled-over deadcap obligation for Haynesworth/McNabb/Hicks/Rabach = up to $7.3 million

^^^ This last part depends on how the NFL handled post-lockout transactions. If they were treated as "post June 1" moves, the Redskins will have to pay deadcap on them. But the Lockout would have prevented moves between March 4 and June 1. So I expect the Redskins owe this, but can't confirm they do not.
