NFL taking away Redskins cap space

[donofriose]

From what I understand the owners had an agreement that they wouldn't do this and then the redskins and cowboys did it anyway. Maybe I read the article wrong though, but this is why the owners got mad and told on them and godell has a need to show off how manly and in control he is... so this is what happened, and appeal sounds nice but probably wont work, in all of sports appeals rarely works, baseball had their first successful one so this is something we will probably have to live with.

The league does but the owners don't so what I think happend behind closed doors is the owners found out and told godell to do something about it. Plus a lot of organizations don't really like the skins or the cowboys because of our net worth and how valuable we are to the nfl.

if there was no offical document or rules for doing it then how can the league take actions. damn the saints better get hammered hard.

There doesn't have to be, the NFL is a business that is owned by individuals, if the majority of the individuals want to punish another owner they can. Love it or hate it we have to live with it.

The haynesworth contract was negotiated 3 or 4 years ago, what the heck? When did they warn them? The timeline is pretty important.

Coincidence that we have Roger Goodell fining Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder?

This isn't just a slap on the wrist... this is INSANE. I can't believe that this is allowed.

Before people start calling for the Redskins to cut every, READ THIS:

* NFL cap bullsh*t punishment is $36 million, which can be spread in 2012 and 2013 (I assume $18 mil each year)
* Redskins cap space according to PFT $31 million


* $31 mil of cap space - $18 mil of punishment = $13 mil of space

I would say more cuts would come if the Redskins would want to absorb more of the $36 mil cap punishment.

Sucks but it appears to be workable, especially with our cap team.

I'm guessing we'll hear about a lot of restructuring.

horrible

I'd sue if I were Snyder and Jones. This is completely baseless and really the agreement not to load is collusion. I know suing would be pretty extreme and not make them very popular but this is blatantly unfair.

Interesting. Well if they agreed to it, then I can't be mad about it.

My biggest issue is that it seems to be an arbitrary number. I want them to explain how they came to that number.

Hanynesworth 21 mil.
Hall 15 mil.

Both bonuses I think.

Haynesworth guaranteed money $21 mil, Hall $15 mil = $36 mil
