Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

Again, we're not losing the 2nd overall pick. Just stop.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think we are either, but my point is that they've lost the equivalent of a first round pick.

Bottom line, they didn't lose a first rounder... and their situation is much more relevant and significant (with the cover up) vs digging back 5 years to a team that has undergone a total regime change. It's just very doubtful that any picks will be docked. A fine perhaps at the worst. The NFL's ongoing investigation is more about Gregg Williams than it is about the Redskins at this point.

My question is who are they going to punish? GW is gone. Gibbs is gone. Most of the players are gone. I could see the league making DS pay a fine maybe.

But the reason the Saints got hammered is because they were asked 3 times about the issue and 3 times the Saints denied it was happening. Thats why they got hammered so hard. Because they lied.
