Did Redskins Bend Rules in Morris Trade?

well, now that he's a free agent, he has the chance of going to whatever team he wants - if there are any that are interested. If not, he won't be getting paid $300,000 for doing nothing, which is what would have happened if he had been cut outright.

as far the skins looking bad in this, they probably do to a lot of people. but theres no way the skins did this move just to save 300k. they did it to alert the NFLPA to the loophole that can be used to the leagues advantage in the next CBA. Sure it sucks for the palyers that they had to be used in such a way, but if it ensure that the greedy players union doesnt get as much in the next CBA, i'm all for it.

Yeah, I don't think there was any sort of motive like that. I don't think they were trying to send a message or warning. I think they both saw the opportunity to make a trade that was beneficial to both parties and so they made the trade

Hey, at least Allen didn't try trading the same pick twice like his old man did in the 70's!!!

Did the Skins bend the rules? Yes.

Did the Skins break the rules? Maybe - - still to be determined.

Is this a big deal? Probably not now - - but it could become a big deal in the new CBA negotiations.

This was a pretty stupid move. If you're going to do something like that then at least wait a week. Hall should get a settlement of some kind.
