NO SHANNY DID NOT CREATE THE CAP PENALTY.
Vinny and Danny created the massive boondoggle contract for Haynesworth, and Hall too.
John Mara, Roger Goodell, and Jeff Lurie and other owners, actually created the cap "penalty".
All Shanahan did was have the contracts redone to pay out in the uncapped year. A restructuring that THE LEAGUE HAD TO ACTIVELY APPROVE to be implemented. And the league did approve the contracts. And even after the cap "penalty" they put in place two years after the fact, the league front office is quoted as saying the Redskins "broke no rules".
For all the stuff that did go wrong in Shanny's tenure, the cap "penalty" was definitely not his fault.
