Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

a cop stole $47 cash out of my money clip while i was cuffed. i did nothing, i was in no position. howard county, md...

No. If we do nothing, it simply means that, in weighing the probability and benefits of prevailing against the costs of pursuing the claim, the possibility of an adverse decision and/or the incidental costs created by attacking their fellow owners, DS decided it was best to go quietly into the night.

Lots of people settle or fail to pursue meritorious claims and they do so for lots of reasons unrelated to the actual merit of the claim. It is why Dallas' decision not to pursue a claim is simply not in any way probative as to the merit of the Skins' substantive claim.

Awesome stuff throughout this thread, JR! Very clear.

Right, this is clearly the equation at this point. And there's the real worry that the nuclear option has too much fallout even for DS--now Al Davis was radioactive, so it was no worry for him at all.

Arbitration or behind the scenes deal-making is the most likely outcome. This is the NFL, after all. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the owner's meeting!

you just knew the Danny and the Jerry weren't going to let this s**t go on.

They haven't done anything yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up not doing anything.

Neither the facts you say are disputed (DS & JJ initially agreed to the conduct and reneged) or the facts which you say are undisputed (the NFLPA has approved the sanction for the 2010 conduct; Dallas is not pursuing a remedy) are legally relevant or probative on the issue of whether or not the NFL is permitted to enforce, through sanction, the leagues attempt to “restrict or limit [the Skins] decision making” in 2010.

Bravo ,all jokes a side I love reading your dissertations your legal expertise is obvious.You believe the information I have given is not legally relevant on the issue and as I said before all I'm going on is what I have read in the Washington Post and I believe that if proven true then that information would be damning to the Skins and Cowboys.I fully admit that I have no legal education to go on and have never pretended to be a Lawyer but I know many a great lawyer to be wrong.

Nop way these cap hits will hold up. The other franchises colluded, which was a stupid move, but meant to screw over the players. If no NFL rules or franchise bylaws, etc were broken then the NFL has no legs to stand on. Dan and Jerry need to get together and go to Federal court over this crap. Screwing over two teams that wanted/needed to use the advantage of the situation is heinous to say the least. I need to build me a fleet of drones and hit NFL HQ if this holds up. Why would Goodell want to hurt the rebuilding efforts of his two largest cash cows?

They haven't done anything yet, and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up not doing anything.


Look as if JR says this is all shit (sorry) then fight and let the chips fall where they may.I read what JR said but again I disagree doing nothing to me is an admission of guilt.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that I would imagine someone with a legal education would know more about this whole issue than someone who doesn't.

Also, I think that given how much Skins fans tend to overreact and be hostile towards Snyder, I think there'd be a ton of people calling for his head if this was entirely the Redskins (and Cowboys) fault.

when this thread was first open after the pft article, i was thirsting for blood. the discussion thats gone on here amongst my fellow forum members has become so repetitive and tiresome that my bloodlust has been replaced with entire apathy towards the entire issue. until i read reports which state otherwise, im not going to give anymore thought to it. we got screwed and we're probalby not going to do anything about it. i'd rather look forward to the rest of free agency and the draft than continue crying over spilled milk.

It could also means that the team is weighting the pros/cons of fighting this. If the cons outweight the pros, then they may decide it may not be worth it. Especially if they are able to absorb the punishment.
