The five Redskins with the best salary cap values

For a team to be successful under the NFL’s salary cap system it must have a number of players providing a high level of play for a relatively small share of the money available. These are the Redskins’ best cap values going into the 2017 season.

RB Rob Kelley, $540,000—The undrafted rookie didn’t even get a signing bonus so he is in line to get the second-year minimum with no added bonus proration. Even if the Redskins draft a running back it’s likely that Kelley will have a substantial role in the offense.

K Dustin Hopkins, $690,000—Sure, he went a little wobbly on field goals last year but he still hit on 81% of them and he is the most effective kicker from 50-plus years the team has had in a long time. A lot of his value stems from his kickoffs (70.7% touchbacks), taking a lot of pressure off the coverage teams.

WR Jamison Crowder, $751,400—Good wide receivers usually cost a bunch of money so if Crowder can improve on his 2016 line of 67/847/7 even a little bit he will prove to be a great value.

S Su’a Cravens, $1 million—He played fewer than 300 snaps last year but he had a key interception against the Giants, five passes defensed and a sack. If his playmaking increases proportionally to his playing time he will be a great value.

RT Morgan Moses, $1.97 million—A good starting right tackle will cost you about $6 million per year. Moses probably will make more than that next year when his rookie contract is up and he signs a new deal under a higher salary cap.

At least those baserunners aren’t scoring damaging runs. Oh, wait . . . — Rich Tandler (@TandlerNBCS) April 15, 2017
