Chris Thompson $2.7
Will Compton $1.8
Ty Nsekhe $0.7
Vinston Painter $0.6
Nick Sundberg $1.0

And a whole bunch of guys bumped out of the top 51.

My guess is they'll now hunt for bargains, maybe pay one more starting defensive lineman like Logan or Hankins. After that, plenty more signings, but they will be low salary and thus no significant cap impact once you net out the displaced player from the top 51.

I think they'll enter the season with about $8M in cap space in an attempt to carry some over into 2018 to allow for the possibility of tagging Cousins again at $34M.

Makes sense to me. I think one quality DT signing, like Logan or Hankins, is a must. We can get one or two good DE prospects via the draft.

So are the 'skins back up to around $18M now since they cut RJF?

I doubt it, Hood is getting something. And RJF was a $3 million dollar savings....$1 million of dead cap space

Cutting RJF took them up to $16.7M (net of a player added back to the top 51).

Then they signed Ziggy Hood. Cap hit unknown at this time.

I'm guessing with 10 picks the Redskins' effective rookies cap hit will be between 3 and 6 M.

So we should have at least 10M left.
If you're right about them wanting to carry 8M for next year's potential Kirk's tag, (that's if they don't sign him long term), that's still enough for one more quality signing!

There are still players who could be cut to create more cap space.

Do the numbers being discussed include this deduction?

No it doesn't. Gotta subtract $4.5M in space for this.

[Schneed10]

After the penalty, they're currently at $11.35M in space. It's still not totally clear what Zach Brown's cap hit will be. Only thing I've seen so far is that the deal is worth "up to" $4.65M. That means it's got some incentives built in, some of which may not hit the cap at this time.

Let's figure he counts the full $4.65M until we hear otherwise. That means we've got $6.7M left. And as noted quite redundantly by several folks, they could still clear more space by dealing with Hall, Lauvao, and others.

Rookies figure to require about $3.0M in space.

Cap space is getting a little tight but we can clear more space by cutting Hall, Lauvao, and others.

Though at this point I'd question what we'd do with the space? Unless we're talking about Hankins, who else remaining would be worth more than a couple million a year for us? Don't see many other guys out there getting a payday from us.

Unless they want to clear space to extend Moses.

Yeah, I wouldn't use it for the sake of using it. Nothing more will probably be done until after the draft when guys from other teams start getting released. I'd be down with extending Moses too. Gotta keep as many of the core guys you draft as possible.

So now that cap space has shrunk, isn't it one more incentive to sign KC long term?

Since they won't carry the space you were expecting them to save for next year in case of a 3rd KC tag.

Good point. We'll find out on July 15. It's definitely what I would do.
