I was reading that was expected and it won't make any difference in the arbitration case.

It's more or less a formality.

Formality. yes. There are always steps to be taken in order. We had to file before anything could be done. I'm sure Goodell had to take a vote to protect the league. Maybe the vote comes back - no give the CAP space back. Then everything else is moot, DS and JJ would have dropped Arbitration. My guess is some of the teams spent the extra CAP so it could not be given back which is why the vote ended the way it did.

Next up Arbitration. Hopefully the Nutty Profesor will be fair.

29-2-1?

Does anyone else find it odd that one of the two other teams affected by the cap situation, the saints, didn't side with us on that vote? They were adversely affected in some ways by the NFL's decision, but they wen't along with the vote anyway... Odd.

Not really. The Saints are trying to rehabilitate their image so right now they probably think it's in their best interest not to make a statement against the establishment.

Someone told me that Tampa Bay abstained from voting. I'm curious as to why they did it.

And it is also on this article in the Washington Post...

Maybe they were so concerned with the £478m of debt with Man U that they didn't want to think about money?

In all seriousness though:

Hmmm... I just naturally assumed it was the Raiders. Well then, why would the Raiders vote against us, too?

Looks like John Mara will get to profit from his push to have the Redskins/Cowboys caps reduced, the Giants are playing the Cowboys in the NFL opener.

I meant more as the Giants getting to play the Cowboys, of course I know the SB winner gets to play the first game genius.
