I keep reading, on Hogs Haven, comments to the effect that the Redskins are “in cap Hell”, or something similar.
I am often surprised by this notion, as the Redskins salary cap structure isn’t in any particular strife.
The Jaguars are projected to be over the cap; the Eagles have about $2m in cap space — not enough to sign their draft picks — and have a large number of key players entering free agency next month. These are situations that require a lot of management.
The Redskins sit in the bottom third of teams with available cap space, but the cap position isn’t really dire.
