I like this write up:

Redskins right, NFL wrong in salary-cap dispute | WSLS 10

It made sense. A season with no salary cap should equal an opportunity to ease or erase the impact of some high-dollar deals.

A team that failed to do something similar might be guilty of financial mismanagement

The league says the Redskins and Cowboys gained an unfair competitive advantage in future seasons by taking advantage of a loophole in a non-salary cap season.

Yet each move the Redskins made was approved by the NFL, with the caveat that some of these financial maneuvers were things the Redskins really should not do.

Hey, either give the team permission and live with the consequences or deny the team permission and force it to live with the consequences.

But don't give permission, then come back two years later, rescind the approval and issue punishment.

What the Redskins and Cowboys did might not sit well with their NFL colleagues, but what Washington and Dallas did made sense.

That's probably what has everyone confused
