Redskins' and Cowboys' Salary Cap Challenge Dismissed

[JoeRedskin]

Here's the crux of it:

The Clubs’ contentions that the Reallocation Letter violates Article 12, Section 6(c)(v) of the CBA (which prescribes the method for determining the Salary Cap), Article 13, Section 1 (which provides that the “Salary Cap is the same amount for each Club”), Article 14, Section 2 (which proscribes agreements and other transactions that include terms designed to defeat or circumvent the parties’ intent as reflected by the CBA), and Article 17, Section 1 (which proscribes collusion to restrict or limit individual Club decisionmaking concerning designated matters) all must fail as a matter of law if the Reallocation Letter, as originally executed or as ratified by the March 27 Resolution, constitutes a valid amendment of the CBA.

I have read it now as well...and after careful analysis, have concluded that your careful analysis that my careful analysis in the other thread was correct is correct.

It's funny that Snyder won't sue the NFL now(just on principle), but did sue the city paper for saying mean things about him.

I'm still a huge skins fan, but this whole thing has affected my view of the NFL.

To be fair, that thread has the same few points summarised in about 87 different places. Reading any two pages at random will give you the same (nicely bulleted imo) points.

Rules aren't made to be broken. Every team restructures contracts. But because it was done during an uncapped year, it was a big deal. There's nothing left to do but move on. At least we were able to get impact players in free agency this off season.

And that's the back side to all this. He needs to drop the parking cost, drop the price of food and beverages and anything else he has control of simply tell the league the bad economy is effecting his stadium also so other teams get less revenue from the Redskins. Screw the league over in the long run by not generating a lot of income to have revenue shared from. Drop the price of seats significantly and cry its because of the economy. Make just enough money to pay the bills and players.

So he should cut off his own nose to spite the face?

Smart move.

if memory serves me (and maybe it doesnt), didnt Snyder sue the paper for saying things they knew to be true about both he and his wife? I actually respected him for the suit for that reason... but perhaps i was mistaken.

I see where Kiem said they accept this decision.....

We already have this team signed sealed and delivered so no big deal THIS year. Little Danny is spineless if he accepts this BS decision and moves on, unless they have a backroom deal for next season.

As alluded to earlier, the sweetest revenge Al Davis got on Pete Rozelle was when Rozelle had to, on national television, give Davis the Lombardi Trophy (at the Redskins' expense). All I want is for Snyder to have the same revenge

I think we can all agree on that one.

We're really aren't in terrible shape cap wise. A few creative moves here and there and we're fine. No need to go crazy and start cutting guys.
