Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
well, when you make $20mill/year you sh#$ no longer stinks, apparently.
the nflpa agreed under threat of a reduced salary cap (potentially 100mill+ less for players this year) and they already agreed not to pursue 2010 collusion per the new cba agreement, so i'd say recourse is almost nil, though potentially they could argue for a reduction i guess.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
I see. The owners are just seeing all the poor players on the Redskins suffering from losing and wanted to help them out by forcing them to go to brighter pastures. Such benevolence.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
My personal preference is to cut some high cost players, restructure some contracts, sign a lot of younger (cheap) players and just take the full hit this year and get it over with.
We got RGIII, and I will NOT let this kill my buzz. Hail....... |

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
This is definitely f'd up. I'm not so much concerned about how we'll make up the cap space as I am about the fact a bunch of loser-ass crybaby owners ganged up on us and The Rog essentially did their bidding. I'm definitely not an expert on any stretch but I think we can all agree this reeks of collusion, and the league is basically punishing us for not colluding with the rest of the owners. I hope the Redskins file some sort of legal proceedings that would enable us to get the fine lowered or something. It's pretty ridiculous.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
Aaaaaaaaand here is the answer to my own question:
Andrew Brandt @adbrandt Reply Retweeted Favorite · Open All NFL contracts are approved by the NFL Management Council. Curious that there is now punishment for these contracts.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
A tweet about possible restructures...
Grant Paulsen @granthpaulsen If #Redskins end up asking some of higher-paid plyrs to re-structure, Trent Williams could be candidate. '12 cap number is team-high $14 MM. **insert munchies joke here**

So at this point, it's 100 percent factual that the Haynesworth signing was the worst signing in the history of football? It's no longer just opinion. I mean, that contract is bordering on being worse than not drafting Michael Jordan with the first pick in the NBA draft.
