The Washington Redskins have been highly active in the free-agent market so far this offseason, making a total of 18 acquisitions during this period. However, many of those players, outside of cornerback Kendall Fuller, have been low-cost signings that are on 1-2 year ‘prove-it’ deals. This has left the Redskins with some money to spend still.
According to ESPN’s Field Yates, the Redskins have $31,468,435 left in their salary cap, which is the sixth-most in the NFL. Some of that money will eventually be used to sign rookies to a deal after they are drafted, but Washington still has much of that money to play with.
Official cap space by teams 1-11 (includes moves officially made):
1. HOU: 49,257,819
2. NYJ: 45,016,813
3. CLE: 43,703,760
4. LAC: 37,553,266
5. TEN: 32,509,301
6. WAS: 31,468,435
7. DET: 31,369,450
8. DEN: 29,819,797
9. DAL: 28,560,313
10. PHI: 27,868,177
11. IND: 26,863,345— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 30, 2020
There is a real likely-hood that the Redskins carry over a good chunk of their salary cap space, for which there is no penalty in the NFL, as there is in the NBA. Still, though, there are a number of solid players left on the open market who Washington could take a swing at, so don’t be surprised to see another move made going forward.
