I think some here want to point the finger at DSmith/NFLPA and say shame on you you knew what was going on and you agreed to the punishment anyway.

And I think you need to realize that he had nothing to point to as proof that there was collusion. If he refuses to agree to it there is no punishment for the two teams and the players are still out money. If he agreed to the punishment he now has proof two teams got into trouble for not keeping to some agreement the NFLPA was not aware of and did not agree to back in 2010.

I'm not saying he's smarter then everyone thinks but he's smart enough to know he had nothing proof wise unless he agreed to the punishments. And it was the next day almost that the two teams filed their appeal with both the NFL and NFLPA as co-defendants. At that point they were probably told by their attorney to not talk and don't file their collusion suit until after they were dropped as defendants or the appeal was dropped. Then the day after the appeal was dismissed the NFLPA files their suit.

If the case isgoing to be allowed to be proceed it will put the NFL between a rock and a hard place. If they do nothing and the Redskins get called up to testify perhaps DS is pissed enough to air some dirty laundry. If the NFL decides to give back some of the CAP space to help DS memory become a little foggy then it looks like the NFL is trying to cover something up. I'd imagine there probably would be some behind the door agreement to the Skins and Boys to conveniently not recall any such rules or collusion. We fans will probably never know what deals were made to ......forget.
