No, don't forget that we have two years to honor this "punishment" for not colluding.

Let's say Redskins sign a few players within the next week, as far as the league knows the 'Skins will deal with the cap space next year and not this year.

This will give the Skins all season to fight against it, but then if they lose they just created a cluster****.

This should continue to unfold all night and tomorrow.....very interesting.
MAN, Don't you know the Dan and our FO have a...bunch of dudes hoppin' all over the world tonight?

This is my point. In my 15 years of being "in the biz" I have never, ever known the NFL to give leeway on things that have to be submitted for approval. Such as a players' contract. It's either yes it's approved, or no, go back and try again. There's never "we don't approve but we'll sign off on it"

Sooo, you are saying that BA by "getting league approval, each contract, by the letter" blah, blah...we are good?
At least until all are lawyered up?

and I've never heard the NFL to approve something then come back a year or two later and say "oh although we approved it we are going to have to punish you because other teams didn't do this and it's causing a parity issue."

Simply hold an owners meeting and make a rule that says it can't be done in the future. How are they going to all of a sudden after the fact say oh we gotta fix this so everyone is happy and only 2 teams are going to pay for it?

I think this needs to be part of the CBA bylaws, I dunno if you can easily amend that without opening up a can of worms.

It's Occupy NFL. The 99% are lashing out at the richest teams.

We need to tear gas the league offices.
