I am ecstatic! This is awesome. Maybe the league caves maybe they don't but...... they are in a lose lose situation. They can give the money back and lose the arguement or they can fight it and let it continue to go to arbitration and lose hundreds of millions to he players union for collusion. At some point someone will flinch and I like to think it will be the league since they have more to lose. All this cat and mouse will be fun to watch. DS and JJ banked that the league would do nothing and they were wrong, the league banked that DS and JJ would do nothing and they were wrong, now the fun will begin.

I'd settle for the Saints 2nd round pick this year and $15mil back.

Ok I know your going to say F them but if we get that what is propper compensation to the Cowboys? Wouldn't they like to have the 2nd RD pick also?

I'd take a compensatory pick say the 1st RD? They can flip a coin to see which team gets the first compensatory pick.

I'd settle for the full $36 mil back but I think the fair ruling would be to give us $36 mil PLUS a compensatory pick for screwing us out of FAs that we would have had an opportunity to sign at normal cap size.

We kept 18mill of the 36. In other words all they took was 18mill. I agree I'd rather have our full money back. Once the other teams saw any other owner not keeping to the agreement then all bets should have been off and all the owners should have done the same.

I'd like our 18mill back.
