Official Salary Cap space for all 32 teams – as of 5/26/13

*****
A couple of observations about the league as a whole and the NFC East clubs:
•The Raiders are in cap hell this year, but will be getting out of it soon.
•They're taking their medicine this year, to get healthy next year, and going forward in the future.
•The Giants are going to need to make a move or two to get fully under the cap by the time the regular season begins.
•Since the Top 51 rules apply, everything is fine now, but this won't last.
•This is just speculation on my part, but it makes TOO MUCH sense to cut Chris Snee the day after June 1st and gain $7,875,000 in cap room ($4,750,000 in cap savings sans dead money, and then another $3,125,000 in cap credits due to the leftover dead money amount of $6,250,000 being spread out over two years).
•I'd cut Snee, and sign the still available--and pretty damned good--Brandon Moore to play his position for a 2 year deal with a cap hit in 2013 and 2014 of around $1.5 to $1.75 M, unless of course Snee would be amenable to agreeing to that deal himself after being released after June 1st.
•This move would give the Giants the room they need under the cap to not only give Victor Cruz the contract that he wants, but give the Giants the room that they need to operate under the cap for the rest o f the offseason, going past the Top 51 rule and into the regular season without having to restructure deals for any more of their players to create added room, like Antrel Rolle, Justin Tuck, or Steve Weatherford, off the top of my head of viable restructuring candidates.
•The Eagles continue their pattern of being way over the cap, which figures with the owner in charge their and Howie Roseman (more of a money guy than a personnel guy) running the show there.
•Dallas renegotiated a SHIT LOAD of contracts to get the point where they are now, ranked 13th in the entire league in cap room, being $7,695,234 under it.
•The Cowflops are playing a fast and DANGEROUS fame, which will eventually come back to haunt them.
•They're playing (by they're I mean J.J. of course) "kick the can" with a lot of contracts on their team, and are basically a house of cards right now.
•As far as the Redksins are concerned, they're actually blessed to be where they are since the cap has saved the from their own stupidity in a sense.
•They can't go out and make their typical big splashes in free agency, simply because they don;t have the room.
•That'll change in a couple of years when RG3's rookie deal is up (provided of course they haven't run him ragged with whatever is left of his injured knee).
