NFL taking away Redskins cap space

Coincidence that we have Roger Goodell fining Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder?

This isn't just a slap on the wrist... this is INSANE. I can't believe that this is allowed.

Before people start calling for the Redskins to cut every, READ THIS:

* NFL cap bullsh*t punishment is $36 million, which can be spread in 2012 and 2013 (I assume $18 mil each year)
* Redskins cap space according to PFT $31 million


* $31 mil of cap space - $18 mil of punishment = $13 mil of space

I would say more cuts would come if the Redskins would want to absorb more of the $36 mil cap punishment.

Sucks but it appears to be workable, especially with our cap team.

I'm guessing we'll hear about a lot of restructuring.

I'd sue if I were Snyder and Jones. This is completely baseless and really the agreement not to load is collusion. I know suing would be pretty extreme and not make them very popular but this is blatantly unfair.

Interesting. Well if they agreed to it, then I can't be mad about it.

My biggest issue is that it seems to be an arbitrary number. I want them to explain how they came to that number.

Complete garbage on the timing of this though. I wonder if the FO knew thought this could happen before making the trade for RG3?

That's probably why they made the trade, they couldn't afford a free agent second tier qb and all of the rookie contracts too. The trade and subsequent pick at least "solidifies" one important position through out this setback.

Hanynesworth 21 mil.
Hall 15 mil.

Both bonuses I think.

thats fine they had a deal, but correct me if i am wrong doesnt the league approve the restructing of contracts.

The league does but the owners don't so what I think happend behind closed doors is the owners found out and told godell to do something about it. Plus a lot of organizations don't really like the skins or the cowboys because of our net worth and how valuable we are to the nfl.

Haynesworth guaranteed money $21 mil, Hall $15 mil = $36 mil
