Sorry, usually sources are cited after the referenced material. You had links to other resources after that statement “free agents etc.” Given how off he was on this estimation I would be leery toward posting anything referencing these numbers without someone/something more reliable. Most of us with our teams knocked out are fixated on the off-season at this point, which basically encompasses the salary cap space available. If I were a Jets fan, that number would make a bad situation worse and should it be inaccurate that would be pretty frustrating.

Nevertheless, great website and thanks for the early free agent rankings. As the site had grown immensely since inception not long ago it might be cool to link up with some other popular resources and do a collaboration piece, working with Football Outsiders to make a free agent ranking list for example.

Your calculations are way off, at least for the Redskins. I am guessing your not really a research writer given the nature of the website but when talking stats I would recommended some citations. Here is the absolute best website for Washington’s salary figures: http://www.thewarpath.net/WarpathRedskinsCap.htm.

We have 1.2M of carry overand 100.6m on the books with an estimated cap of 121M for 2013 and 18M cap penalty bring WAS to 3.6M of cap sapce. Then deduct 1.9M for the dead space Cooley left and we are talking roughly 1.7M. Should Hall and Moss end up on the chopping block there would be 16.3M available and 2.4M of new dead cap to deal with in 2014.

  The numbers were provided by ESPN’s John Clayton, which you’ll notice is sourced above. They are by no means our own calculations.

  31 mill. penalty, minus 2 first round picks and a broken QB this team is going to tread water for a few more years anyway.

    Without Pro Bowl OLB Orakpo, above average S Merriweather, DE Carriker, TE Fred Davis, and RT J. Brown and or Garcon most of the season while playing rookie QB RGIII, Cousins, and RB Morris WAS managed to win the division.
    
    RGIII’s style of QB is more demanding on the knee than others but it is in no way as pivotal as a RB. Cousins also showed some promise during his brief stint without much molding or practice. Morris could be an elite back for a few years. Orakpo and Kerrigan might finally become the Osi/Tuck tandem many thought would have happened this year. Plenty of reasons to fell confident, despite your aversions and likely fandom of a division rival.
    
    18M in cap penalty is brutal, but overall there should be enough money to make a couple solid upgrades. Cutting Hall seem inevitable and using the saved 8.5M to sign a legit CB (i.e. Grimes) would do wonders. The NFC East is not forgiving and treading water is a common state for every team every year. That said, with luck providing health and some progress into their second years in the NFL it would be logical to think the defending division champs could hold their own. The again Romo is due, the Giants are the Giants, and Chip Kelly is about to introduce the NFL to a whole new world of offense.
