NFL taking away Redskins cap space

Not sure how. The NFL has to approve of the contracts right? So not sure how they could punish them for something they approved?

But while most teams opted not to break the bank in a season without a banker, the NFL instructed teams not to use the uncapped years as a way to dump money in order to ensure that cap numbers in years with a salary cap would be lower.

WTF?
Who blew this?
Allen?

We will still have roughly $13 mil in cap space....but now I am sure players will need to be cut. Unless the team feels they can appeal this.

They can spread some of that to next year too

Hate to break the bad news to Fletcher, but he isn't getting that 8-9mil/year contract now. Also probably can say goodbye to D-hall and his figure.



Now, those cheap draft picks are coming back to bite us in the ass.

If we can I'm sure we will appeal.

This will screw the Cowboys worse than us if it stands. They were already right on the salary cap, we had a ton of room to spare, but maybe not now.

Hopefully we can still get a WR and spread some of the damage to next season.


Are we and Dallas really the only offenders? Tough to believe, if we really violated anything.

I understand the NFL thinking and still think smart thing to do, but is there any appeal process?

Atogwe first casualty since he counts as $0 dead cap and was owed. 3.4 mil. Could belong in another thread as well but...

They can spread some of that to next year too

The 13 mil cap room comes with us absorbing half of the 36 mil this year.

Well there goes VJax
