Re: Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

No argument that it's a procedural mess.

However, he does have the authority to remove draft picks "in his sole discretion." Had he done that, this would probably be over by now. I doubt Snyder and Jones are going to take this to court.
Again, he tried to in effect impose his own salary cap rules in 2010, which he can't do. And he's punishing the Redskins and Cowboys for not following his rules. Draft picks or cap space, he has no right to overrule the CBA, and that's what he is trying to do here.
