Redskins 2012 Salary Cap Status

They should've thought of this before they made the trade. No we're really ****ed.

Now this puts into perspective just how warned teams were... Interesting, maybe we're jumping the gun.

nah, when does that ever happen? ;)

so now that we know were taking a 18MM hit this year, how much do we have left to spend?

Around 15 mil

Awesome...So this was negotiated into the new CBA right? Wait, what? No? You mean they're just making this up as they go? No way!

It wasn't part of the CBA...plain and simple. The league strong-armed the NFLPA into agreeing to this. They extorted them essentially. The facts are this.

The Skins and other teams took advantage both legally and in the spirit of a CBA tool meant to punish one or both sides for allowing the uncapped year to happen.
Many owners colluded to strip said tool of the power it held from a labor standpoint.
The league allowed the contracts in spite of the fact that there was an agreement not do allow such behavior.


It cannot be stated more clearly...the league is punishing two teams, entirely without regard for the other teams in the league that acted similarly, for not engaging in an illegal labor negotiating ploy.

The argument that what they did created competitive imbalance, while on it's face pretty dubious, is completely irrelevant. THAT WAS WHAT THE UNCAPPED YEAR WAS INTENDED TO DO.

Anyone care to explain where JLC is getting these numbers? I wonder if he meant these are the cap numbers with the cap penalties.

You're right about everything you said, but in the end, the league can pretty much do whatever they want. It's not fair, but it is what it is.

Ya not sure where he gets these. You are probably right, these numbers likely include an $18M cap charge in 2012.

I don't think that includes the $13M in space that the Skins got to carry over from last year.

I was just thinking of something with this $18 million crap. Isn't it really $19.6 million because of the extra $1.6 million or whatever it was that every other team got that we didn't get. That extra $1.6 million is already added in to the $120 million cap number.
