Judge Doty will say that the CBA signed by both sides means the players signed away their right to sue for collusion. He will also say that when Mara and Co. decided to punish Wash/Dallas post CBA , they opened the door for the right to sue.

I started to post this the other day. Apparently punishing Dallas and us proves collusion. This could come back to bite Mara right in the ass.

It was most defiantly Collusion, and even if they don't return or cancel the cap hit, I am just begging that they punish that P&!@K Mara, since it is blatantly obvious that he pushed it only against his division rivals. I hope they take the full amount that all of the teams that were penalized and charge it to Mara, then he can enjoy trying to figure out how to maintain personnel with roughly 50 MIL missing from his cap. Tha Bastige!

Point,
the Redskins' Dan Snyder and the Cowboys' Jerry Jones -- faced with a 29-0 vote from ownership approving the sanctions against them --

John Mara was only the chairman of the committee,he doesn't have the power to initiate cap penilties all by himself.

As Chairman of the Committee, he absolutely has the power to initiate the cap penalties (someone has to initiate them, they dont come to fruition otherwise). He doesnt have the power to authorize and execute them without the vote of the other owners. Plus, why would an owner say no when the league was dangling extra cap space in front of them for a yes vote? Not like that could be construed as buying a vote...
