Does anyone in their right mind think that sounds like something he'd do? In the business world Snyder is not known as a shrinking violet. I think he'd have told Ralph Wilson and his crew of poor owners to go screw.
Perhaps he knew that many owners had agreed to this and that they would either TRY to punish those that didn't go along or were only issuing empty threats but it doesn't seem very likely at all that he actually raised his hand as a Yay when they "voted" on this.

The key is if eveyone agreed there should not have been a need for a warning. right? The mere fact the warning was issued shows there were teams that didn't agree with it or didn't want to go along with it and a warning from the majority was issued.
Also there would not have been a competative edge had all the teams done the same thing. Lets reverse the roll, what would have happened had all the other teams reworked deals and the Skins and Cowboys had not? would the NFL be duling out punishments for 30 teams because two teams didn't get a competative edge?
