    How the heck is Washington signing anyone??

    According to ESPN, the Redskins are $4.9 million over the cap.

    Clayton: Salary cap status of all 32 teams
    http://proxy.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2349505
    With free agency nearing, find out how much each NFL team is over or under the salary cap.


    How the heck are they signing Randle El to a big contract, plus Christian Fauria, and talking to Adam Archuleta and Andre Carter??? What kind of creative accounting do they have going on over there??

    Probably by listing it as an emergency expenditure. Ooops! Wrong group.

    My thoughts are that either the numbers ESPN have are old / wrong, or that teams are not always required to be in compliance and just have to be in compliance by certain dates. Anyone with knowledge of the cap know for sure?

    Edit:
    Oh ya, the numbers are old. The numbers are dated Friday, March 10th. Washington would have had to get into compliance with the cap by 12:01AM Saturday March 11th -- the start of free agency.

    I don't know what cap moves they made though.

        But then again, there should be no surprise that there's "fuzzy math" going on in Washington.

            I hate Washington. I think they fact they drive up the market everywhere and take most of the premier free agents every season is bad for football.

                Snyder's probably paying these guys under the table like Eddie DeBartolo used to in San Fran.

                  All teams had to be cap complient at the start of the NFL calender year (in this case when the CBA was ratified). There is no way Washington was over the cap at that time; they would have been penalized. Then when you add in the increase in the cap you get how they could afford it.

                        seriously........Arrington paid back $4.4 million to be released. Unsure of the cap savings.....they also released 5 players, restrucutured Portis, Brunell, and copy of others.

                        Take cap numbers by Clayton lightly.....he's always behind a day or two with his numbers.

                            Now they're trading for John Abraham possibly.
