How the Salary Cap Penalty will effect the Redskins | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
It looks like for the most part the Redskins will survive their cap penalty in 2012, but that shouldn’t be too surprising as the Redskins headed into the offseason with a large chunk of cap room. All they lost this offseason was a portion of their cap space. Next season though could be a different story and I wanted to look and see what the Redskins cap situation looked like next year.

But Morgan is a Hokie I remember fondly because he gave everything he had — even on the nights his team failed to rise to the challenge. That’s why I was a fan of the signing. Because I don’t expect everyone else who cheers for the Redskins to be well versed on the history of the Hokies, I decided to catch up with Morgan this week for a one-on-one interview.
