Also, upon further reflection, I'm revising the anticipated cost of resigning Fred Davis. Coming off a major injury like that, and given that he's only had one really impressive season, he shouldn't command a contract that would generate a $5M cap hit ($4.5 once net of the replacement) in year 1 of the contract. I'll go with $2.5M hit in year 1. That could still give him a hefty payday with solid guarantees, but it won't pay him at the pro bowl level like I had him at.

Information can always improve. All figures presented in millions.

2013 Redskins Cap Room (Overage): ($3.1)

Roster Cuts or Restructures:
DeAngelo Hall $7.5
Santana Moss $3.7
London Fletcher (retirement?) $2.7

Logan Paulsen: ($0.6)
Lorenzo Alexander: ($1.8)
Nick Sundberg or similar LS: ($0.3)

Tyler Polumbus: ($1.1)
Cap Space Required for Resignings/Replacements ($11.8)

Rookie Pool Impact ($0.5)

Anticipated Cap Space Available for Free Agency: $4.1

Hmm...how is it possible to replace 2 starting CB (Hall + Wilson) for 4.1M?
I just don't see how this would work. We need starting CBs more than a starting TE or LG..I just don't understand how we can keep Wilson and replace/restructure Hall for 4.1M.

PS...great work at usual!
