Here is a snippet from the Examiner article link in the Redskins News area:
Quote:
....General manager Bruce Allen said the Redskins presented their case for two and a half hours in front of special master Stephen Burbank Thursday, hoping to recoup money $36 million in salary cap space the NFL took away from them. Allen said he did not know when they would hear a resolution from the arbitrator.
"We wanted to present our case and we were able to present part of our case," Allen said.
As for whether or not there will be another hearing Allen said, "You have to check with the league or [Giants owner] John Mara."

There had been rumors (vague on another -not ES) board that a compromise was reachable. Since they didn't show up here, I didn't put a lot of credence in them, but I wonder if this statement by Bruce Allen underlies a point that Mara particularly is keeping a settlement from being reached. Remember he made very pointed statements leading in to the league meetings.
