Isn't 20 about normal in todays NFL?

Yeah, but $40M isn't that much when you consider you have to sign 20 guys with it, which means that they couldn't afford all those star FAs we were discussing.

Well its about 2 to 3 times more than your average NFL team.

I think at least the Bengals, Rams, Colts, and Seahawks have more cap left than the Redskins.

But you're right they have a lot of cap space to build up their roster for next season.
