This will happen this year by $10 to 14 million and then it going up by that much again in 2020. It’s already been reported the salary cap this offseason will go up to $187 to 191 million and seeing as the cap goes up about $10 million each offseason, the salary cap will be over $200 million in 2020. Quote At the worst kicking the money in Smith’s contract allows me to use around 13% of my salary cap for the next three years on Smith... I just don’t know how he gets this and this is seems to be not just the % of the cap for next season, but he must mean the average % of what the cap would be over the next three seasons if the team kicks the can down the road which, I think is very foolish. Anyways, it’s pretty simple. 2019: Divide $20.4/$191 million = 10.67% 2020: $21.4/$201 million = 10.64% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would boost his cap numbers down the line (and then gamble that there is a cap-less year with the CBA negotiations that you can use to dump him). Of course, Washington got smacked around the last time they tried to dump cap in a capless year. I suppose it's possible the NFLPA fights a collusion case this time around, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Regardless, there's going to be a substantial penalty. It just comes down as to how Washington wants to eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
