Interestingly enough every team in th NFL is under the cap except the Washington Redskins who are over 20 million over.
The current numbers don't mean anything. The contracts have unattainable bonuses built in them to add future cap room. Each team will have plenty to spend. There's always restructuring as well to make room. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If Washington wants someone bad enough they'll find the money for them.
Hopefully, their are a couple guys out there who are worth the money and will help Green Bay. If they aren't worth the cash, Thompson won't go after them. The young O-line could use a solid veteran to help while the 2nd and 3rd year players finish their developments.

Found a good web page on the Redskins salary cap situation.
Looks like the Skins get under the cap pretty easily:
- Cut Mark Brunell ($5 million)
- Cut Brandon Lloyd ($2.4 million)
- Convert Chris Cooley roster bonus into a signing bonus, as planned ($9.2 million)
- Convert other roster bonuses (Betts, Carter, Randel El) into signing bonuses, as planned (~$5 million)
That's $21 to $22 million off the cap without breaking a sweat. I'm sure there will be other cuts and restructuring, too.
