NFL taking away Redskins cap space

This is a big mess. If I'm the Redskins, I'm calling Mike Holmgren, making a deal, getting my draft picks back and then some, drafting Weedon and calling it a day.

Thank goodness you aren't the Redskins.

People keep saying this and it's just as stupid now as the first time I read it.

What does The trade have to do with this?

The more significant argument to me is: what about all the teams that dropped below the salary floor in 2010 because they were no longer obligated to spend? Should the total leaguewide cap NOT be increased because those teams cut salary specific to the uncapped year?

That's a great point. The real issue here seem to be the other 30 teams are pissed that the skins and cowboys didn't honor a "gentlemans agreement" and now they want revenge.

Beyond collusion, there is a huge conflict of interest apparent when they retroactively punish the team with the most cap space to spend. With some of the decision makers being free agent competitors.

The SKINS & cowgurls are going to say you agreed to it but we didin't

Many of the team owners (that don't spend) have always been jealous of those that do.

If they plan to just reject the penalty on the grounds that the league approved all their moves when made according to the old CBA, I do think the league will have a difficult time forcing this penalty on them. I question whether the league is powerful enough to make the Redskins and Cowboys comply.

This at least seems to be the opening gambit. Either the league has the power to do this or it does not. If it does, then it has to produce the documents and follow the correct procedures. And when that happens, it's going to look pretty bad, or so it seems. So maybe the league backs down. But man, then they look like putzes. Still, they haven't endorsed the numbers or even said the skins are implicated. So maybe they can blame it on a false media leak!

Whatever. This is going to be interesting.
