Peyton Manning or RGIII your choice

He's right in saying we need a portion of our cap space to resign our own players or replace them with other players. But I don't agree with the conclusion that there is only $15 million of flexibility. You may be able to assume same cap value when considering replacement cost of departing players, but that doesn't mean those replacements won't be talent upgrades.

And there was no cap rollover in the analysis I posted.

It's a moot point for the 2012 season because the Redskins aren't even going to get close to spending to the cap unless they have like a $20 million roster bonus for Manning in the middle of the season. Anything else, and only a cap analysis of 2013 or 2014 could produce a meaningful barrier to new contracts.
