Current salary cap situation
The Redskins are estimated currently to have cap space of $15.399m, which OTC says is thirteenth most in the NFL, meaning that its about average or slightly better.
As you probably already know, that amount is based on the top 51 salaries during the offseason. Once the team finalizes its 53-man roster and the 10-man practice squad, the cap number will change, but that’s true for every team in the NFL.
Once the season gets going, as injuries occur, some of that money will need to be used to sign replacements.
