Current Redskins Salary Cap Status - 2009

CrazyCanuck · 03-02-2009, 10:01 PM

Just found some info on the individual team cap adjustments.

The Skins cap limit went up by $1.427475M.

I now have us at $13.380M of cap room.

Definitely a good job!

I think this thread is part of the reason we got knocked offline briefly last night. Once the Taylor news broke I think this thread got hammered by people wanting to see the cap implications.

Yeah, I actually tried to make the edit for CC's adjustment to the Skins cap limit, I hit submit, and it went boom. Must have been the traffic plus my edit all at once.

I was wondering what happened. Schneed10, CrazyCanuck, SmootSmack, all you guys have done a great job keeping us well informed with what's going on. Part of the reason THE WARPATH is so great. You've put together something really good here Matty.

Agreed.. I (and I'm pretty sure I can speak for most of people at here) would be totally lost and stuck in dark for whole time until signing occurs if it weren't for u guys.. Thanks guys!

Over 13M in cap space AFTER signing Haynesworth? Thats simply amazing. Thats enough we could actually afford to take the cap hit if we wanted to cut or trade some players.

los panda · 03-03-2009, 03:36 PM

unless they have big plans, i don't understand why they cut jason taylor as well.

There are still some holes to fill, mainly at LB, RT, and possibly a punter.

Because he didn't want to work out, so he doen't have his heart in the game. Read, Cooley's blog. Bill Parcels knew something about Taylor. I for one leaped pretty high when he was signed last year after we lost Daniels and still give credit to Snyder and Co. for picking him up. His heart's not into it so he has to go. BYE BYE

I'm a bit confused by something. According to the information on this site, the Redskins are 12-13M under the cap.

However, this mornings RedskinsInsider blog had this to say,

There's also the cap issue. We're still waiting to hear from league sources about the Redskins' exact cap number, but Cerrato recently said the team only has a little flexibility to meet its remaining needs.

How can we have 12-13M in cap space, yet have "little flexibility"? It just doesnt make sense. Any thoughts?

I second that question. Unless they think T.O. is going to command big money, which he won't and should not.

Fair question. It's likely because Vinny probably said "little flexibility" before they cut Jason Taylor. JLCs says "Cerrato recently said". It depends on how "recent" JLC's definition of recent is. If it was said before Taylor was cut, then it was true at the time. But now that he has been released, we have mad flexibility. And this makes sense, Vinny was trying to negotiate a restructure with Taylor and didn't expect him to balk at the workout bonus. He was thrown for a loop and then decided it was best to cut him.

When they released Taylor they went from having something like $3 million to having upwards of $11 million. That takes you from not much flexibility to lots of flexibility overnight.

As for the cap information on this site, trust me it's right. I like to think my MBA in Finance wasn't for naught. CC is quite an accountant himself, I've examined his stuff thoroughly and it's right on from my perspective. Further, there's another cap source out there who's also a strong accountant, and CC's numbers tie out to his.

We have to use estimates from time to time to develop cap hits, this is done when we don't have accurate sources for contract info. But those estimates are always in the ballpark. At least close enough to say with certainty that after releasing Jason Taylor the Skins have plenty of flexibility.

BigHairedAristocrat · 03-03-2009, 03:42 PM

welcome panda. Taylor didnt want to work out with the team and this team is now rid of two guys who always felt they were too good to work out and practice with their team in the offseason.

We could have something big in the works (like a trade for a big name player), but I think if we did, we would have heard some rumblings by now. I'm personally hoping we wanted to get rid of someone who wasnt worth their keep. Now, weve got plenty of room to make several acquisitions to improve the quality of the depth on our team and maybe even pickup a starting DE or LB.
