I like to think there was more happening then we all know. I think the team had a plan as to how to handle the offseason. The punishment, although some would like to say both teams knew one was coming I don't think they thought it would be as big as it was if any at all. See the two teams put the league in a bad spot. No way the NFLPA would agree to not file suit, and no way would the league punish them with out risking proving there was collusion. On top of all this there might have been agreements made with agents in order to get deals done quick prior to FA and prior to the league punishing the two teams. I think the team went about its normal routine getting FA's while trying to figure out what to do next about their plan. Part B of the plan was to also wait and see what Fletcher would get offered on the open market and match it. As far as we know the top two LB's have not even had a nibble as of yet. So although Fletcher sits there and it looks bad on us I think he's waiting to see if we are going to get any money back to resign him. As the media puts it this should be a slam dunk for both teams, legally both teams did not break any laws and did not violate any CBA cause there was not one, on top of that the league approved the deals when they had the opportunity to turn them down and force the two teams to either not make new deals or atleast rework them to fall with the perimeters set out. The league didn't, they approved the deals. Personally there has to be an appeal of the process to show they don't agree with it and give the league the opportunity to give it back or come to some form of agreement. If that does not happen then a trial might be in the works. But to answer your question I think the fight to get some of the money back is now the new plan is to try to get Fletcher signed. |

Re: Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess
Nice, I was wondering if it was just going to be lip service. NOW it's going to get interesting...

the first illegal act which was the little agreement and everything after is a moot point because of the original illegal act. Mora is a tool. Most media sources were siding with the punished teams not the league cause they know the agreement to begin with was wrong, but I'd guess if I was looking for a HCing job somewhere I'd side with the owners also. |

Mara is an arrogant A#S. IMO the fact that the NFL offices is in NY gives him to much influence on the Commissioner. |

Re: Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess
I hope the judge sees Mara's conflict of interest. I don't think he would be as emotional if he were not an owner in the NFC east. I think what he is REALLY concerned about is facing a Redskin team with a quality QB twice a year- expecially since he couldn't beat us last year WITHOUT a QB. You should be afraid Mara - we DOMINATED you by 2 scores last year. Please say something else to the media. LOL

Re: Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess
"I thought the penalties imposed were proper," Mara said. "What they did was in violation of the spirit of the salary cap. They attempted to take advantage of a one-year loophole, and quite frankly, I think they're lucky they didn't lose draft picks."
This literally made me LOL. EVERYTHING you said in there in no way relates to illegal activity or rule-breaking. "Spirit" and "loophole" are the two words he might have wanted to re-think. He just sounds stupid there. Have we ever found out the person in charge of the whole vote or whatever it was that ended up costing us the money?
