This won't affect the Skins salary cap at all. This only allows the NFLPA to go forward with arguments and pushing for reopening CBA talks. The Skins are not going to side with the NFLPA on this.

I'm curious if this is your opinion or if this is something that's obvious/clear that I've missed.

If the Redskins are interested in being reimbursed for a penalty they saw to be unfit, why would they root against the NFL PA?

Is it because the NFL PA's sole interest is in invalidating the CBA and getting a better deal?

I ask because I'm curious because I don't know a lot about this.... I actually thought all of this was resolved and had no idea there was a ruling pending by the appeals court still out there...

I don't recall ever hearing the end goals being the CBA being revisited. If that's the end game then I may root against the NFL PA too - they're awful at negotiating and reopening the CBA will just cause more lockouts/problems for a second deal the inevitably screws over the PA anyways. That juice would not be worth the squeeze.
