The Washington Post reports the Washington Redskins project they will spend about $86 million on players' salaries and bonuses in the 2003 season, which likely will place them among the league's five highest-spending clubs, according to sources.

I'm glad we have cap sense! Go Bills!

The Washington Redskins are poised to return to the upper tier of NFL player payrolls next season but won't threaten the spending record they set three years ago.

The Redskins project they will spend about $86 million on players' salaries and bonuses in the 2003 season, which likely will place them among the league's five highest-spending clubs, according to sources. But the Redskins don't intend to break the $90 million barrier that the Denver Broncos and a few other teams are headed toward, sources said.

Please remember, they can spend $86 million and still have lots of room under the cap. Spending includes bonuses which are spread out over the length of the contract. What a team spends per year is inconsequential when talking about cap dollars. It only counts in the owners pocketbook.
