The timing was bad. They knew what they were doing because had they done it sooner and the Skins won then the Skins would have bought every really good player up and they needed to prevent that. It worked. They got what they wanted.

I think they know they'll lose this fight but by the time the Skins make a move most of the really good players will be taken up by other teams in the name of "competativeness".

You all are right;

- Timing
- Amount
- Wrongness
- Lack of a Rule
- Collusion by the owners
- The Giants owner being the Cheif Exec on the board

What is the underlying message the NFL is sending?

-It's ok to break the law as long as everyone agrees
-If you don't go along with the majority you'll get bullied
-People who do the right thing get screwed in the end

I hope Snyder files the law suit, he can always drop it if the other owners agree to give back the other 18 mill they took away.

I also wonder what would happen of the players of the two teams filed individual law suits against the owners who colluded? The Union agreed to not file but the individual players did not.

I can only hope JJ does not tuck his tail and run and hope he stands beside DS in the fighting this injustice.
