Washington Redskins Hoodie , but the Eagles will almost certainly be forced by salary cap pressure to re-make the team in the 2019 offseason.Don’t be shocked to see Howie Roseman make some trades to part with some expensive veteran players this off season in return for 2019 draft picks.Note: I wrote this article a week ago.On Thursday, with the Eagles needing to cover injuries (Jay Ajayi, etc), they took action to create some cap space.This is a pretty dramatic amount of cap space juggling — especially adding the void year at the end of the contract.This is a team that is desperately trying to reshuffle a lot of cap dollars.GIANTSThe Giants available cap space, at first blush, looks fairly healthy at $22.6m, but upon closer inspection we see that the OverTheCap number for 2019 shows only 35 players under contract.By contrast, the Eagles show 40 players, and the Redskins show 49 — nearly a full roster!In addition to carrying a $23.2m cap hit for the 38 year old Eli Manning in 2019, the Giants have some significant free agent issues to face.Let’s toss out a few assumptions, and see what that means for the G-menEven with this week’s release of Ereck Flowers, the Giants still have at least 4 key players who will be free agents at the end of this season, and the issue of replacing Flowers may still be problematic.Let’s say for a moment that they manage to keep all of them.They would still have only 39 players under contract.As far as the college draft goes, the Giants situation doesn’t look too bad for 2019; they have:1st round2nd round4th round4th round (compensatory pick expected)5th round6th roundBetween 1 and 3 seventh-round picks (two are conditional picks from trades with Broncos, Rams and Vikings).Let’s say the Giants manage to draft 5 players that make the roster.They would still need to sign 8 more players to make up the 53.These players would either need to be veteran free agents or undrafted college free agents.That’s asking Dave Gettleman to get a lot of mileage out of $22m in cap space.COWBOYSThe Cowboys don’t appear on the partial chart above because they have a whopping $69.97m in cap space for 2019.Part of the reason is that they currently have their premier pass rusher, Demarcus Lawrence (who has 5.5 sacks through the first 4 games), playing on the franchise tag.His $17m cap hit is unlikely to decrease in future years if he continues to collect sacks at a rate of more than one per game.He said this past off season that he planned to play great in ‘18 and then get paid.While there are some recognizable names on the free agent list aside from Lawrence, there’s no one that the team absolutely positively has to re-sign.Additionally, the Cowboys are likely to have 6 draft picks (they traded away, conditionally, their 6th round pick to the Bengals for Bene’ Benwikere).For the first time since 2015, the Cowboys will have enough cap space available to retain their own free agents
Cheap Customized Washington Redskins Jerseys , sign their draft picks, and fill some holes in veteran free agency, but they will need to keep a bit in the cookie jar for players like Zeke Elliott and Dak Prescott, whom they will probably want to extend soon.REDSKINSOTC estimates the Redskins will have $24.2m in cap space in 2019, but that is based on 49 contracts, one of the higher totals in the league.The Redskins will have 6 of their ‘regular’ draft picks in 2019, having used the 6th round pick to select Adonis Alexander in the Supplemental Draft.In addition, the Redskins are widely expected to be awarded 4 compensatory picks as a result of the 2018 free agency period.The team’s need to retain its own pending free agents will be limited.Fans have been focused for months on Preston Smith, Brandon Scherff and Jamison Crowder as the only three pending free agents likely to be priority signings, or to command large paychecks.Of the three, only Scherff is widely accepted as a must-sign player.Smith’s inconsistency makes him appear to be as expendable in 2019 as Spencer Long and Trent Murphy were in 2018, and there’s a feeling that Trey Quinn may make be the replacement for Jamison Crowder.So, while the Redskins won’t enjoy the large cap surplus that Jerry Jones will be able to go shopping with, the fact is, the ‘Skins team looks to be pretty stocked with talent at most key positions, with enough young developing players and draft capital to keep the team from regressing without having to spend big in free agency.Still, if the team wants to create some room, there are opportunities.I wrote an article just last month discussing options for creating cap room.The three likeliest targets for trade or release are Josh Norman, Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis.Moving on from even one of these players will have a significant cap benefit for the Redskins; making a move on two — or all three — of them would significantly change the Redskins cap situation for 2019 and 2020.Eric Schaffer continues to be a quiet achiever.
