With four of their six draft choices already under contract, the Redskins have about $6.5 million left to spend this season if they so choose. First-rounder Brian Orakpo and third-rounder Kevin Barnes should account for about $3.1 million between them, leaving more than $3 million to sign veterans during training camp and/or replacements when players head to injured reserve during the season.
All of Washington's draft picks signed so far received 4-year deals. Fifth-rounder Cody Glenn's signing bonus was approximately $175,000. Sixth-rounder Robert Henson's was $102,000. Seventh-rounders Eddie Williams and Marko Mitchell received roughly $60,000 and $45,000, respectively.
