I guess my major issue is there were other teams that violated the agreement and not punished. Why only two teams? It should not matter if it was $1 over or $36 mill over if they violated the unwritten rule then they should be punished also, and that should include teams that spent below the floor limit as well. Heck the NFLPA should be all over that by itself.
Why just two teams? why not the top 3 teams? or top 4 teams?
Then you have the fact the deals were approved. If there were something wrong with the deals the league should have not approved the deals. Simple. Its not like they were too busy. They found time to approve them. This was a clear cut situation. The two owners DS and JJ found a loophole, knew that if the league did not approve the deals then there would have been proof of collusion, which forced the league to approve the deals to keep the NFLPA from filing a law suit. and at this point the league should just be eating it. Taking their lump and moving on. Instead they wait until after a new CBA is in effect with a do not take us to court agreement with the NFLPA, and 2yrs after the league approved the deals, to pull the NFLPA in and say.... hey remember you said you wouldn't file a law suit? Ok, if you don't go along with this we will lower the CAP... if you go along with the punishment we will keep it the same or slightly more then 2011."
