Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

[SkinzWin]

Has anyone heard of a timeline of if/when something will come of this issue? Or is it all just hearsay at this point that anything is going to happen?

[Ruhskins]

There seems to be no timeline...

NFL: No date set for Redskins, Cowboys arbitration hearing - Washington Times

Also, no compensatory picks for us...looks like Mara is at it again (I'm halfway kidding).

I thought some compensatory picks were based on pure suckage? And not just the number of FAs that left your team the previous season...

Told NFL owners by hand vote this morning affirmed salary cap sanctions on redskins and cowboys, who were not in room.

and as Rich Campbell correctly points out

Rich Campbell ‏
The owner's have a competitive incentive to approve any cap sanction against the Redskins and Cowboys. Why wouldn't they affirm it?

Just because the Cowboys and Redskins start firing bullets at the NFL doesn't neccessarily mean they will win or even get the sactions reduced because the NFL has bigger guns and more ammo.

I beg to differ on that. Snyder and Jones combined could probably sue the NFL until they were like, "No mas!"

I hope the owners
All burn in cap hell.

this isn't going to end well for the nfl.

If the NFL approved these contract, how can they come back 2 years later and say they were illegal?

I don't agree but it sounds like the nfl's argument is that any one contract was not illegal, BUT when taken in the totality of transactions by the team it showed an intent to engage in anticompetitve practices.

Well, yeah. Okay. I still say "So what"? Anti-competitive practices? Define please - and in your definition you are prohibited from using the words "salary cap" as there was no such thing in existence in 2010 nor was there any guarrantee that it would ever again exist.

blah blah blah ... NFL is simply trying to throw crap against the wall hoping something, anything will stick.

There were two they took issue with: haynesworth and hall. Either one of the transactions was substantial enough to throw off red flags to the NFL. I'm sorry, but if that's the NFL's defense, they are ****ed.

So two rights do make a wrong???? That would make the opposite true by that reasoning and boy do my parents have some explaining to do now.

You pointed out the $15 mill from one team and $20 mill from another team. All I was pointing out was Dallas only gained $10 mill and that the punishments are not making sense. Kinda what you were saying or so I thought.
