The Washington Redskins, once again, face a critical offseason -- but aren't yet in the best salary-cap situation to help themselves improve via free agency. That is, if they wanted to go that route. But they can create more cap room with a handful of cuts.
The Redskins have about $17 million in available cap space. They can save money through a restructure or two or even a possible trade. They can recoup perhaps as much as $5 million in cap space by signing guard Brandon Scherff to an extension, which they want to do (there have been talks already).
