Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

This is ridiculous:

I love the way most, well everyone who is on the side of the league totally over looks the fact the owners were BREAKING THE LAW with the little side agreement we supposedly ignored. In a court of law the judge is going to look at
the first illegal act which was the little agreement and everything after is a moot point because of the original illegal act.

Mora is a tool. Most media sources were siding with the punished teams not the league cause they know the agreement to begin with was wrong, but I'd guess if I was looking for a HCing job somewhere I'd side with the owners also.

I'd settle for the Saints 2nd round pick this year and $15mil back.

Ok I know your going to say F them but if we get that what is propper compensation to the Cowboys? Wouldn't they like to have the 2nd RD pick also?

I'd take a compensatory pick say the 1st RD? They can flip a coin to see which team gets the first compensatory pick.

I'd settle for the Saints 2nd round pick this year and $15mil back.

I'd settle for the full $36 mil back but I think the fair ruling would be to give us $36 mil PLUS a compensatory pick for screwing us out of FAs that we would have had an opportunity to sign at normal cap size.

We kept 18mill of the 36. In other words all they took was 18mill. I agree I'd rather have our full money back. Once the other teams saw any other owner not keeping to the agreement then all bets should have been off and all the owners should have done the same.

I'd like our 18mill back.

"I thought the penalties imposed were proper," Mara said. "What they did was in violation of the spirit of the salary cap. They attempted to take advantage of a one-year loophole, and quite frankly, I think they're lucky they didn't lose draft picks."

This literally made me LOL. EVERYTHING you said in there in no way relates to illegal activity or rule-breaking. "Spirit" and "loophole" are the two words he might have wanted to re-think. He just sounds stupid there.

Have we ever found out the person in charge of the whole vote or whatever it was that ended up costing us the money?

**** Mara!! Redskins and Cowboys will be out for some NY midget ass!!

What's gonna be funny is when the NFL gives us Cap space back but then takes away picks over the G. Williams scandal as retaliation for arbitration.

Not sure how many times this has to be repeated, but we have already been cleared.

Wrong. We currently have been cleared but if new details come out in the future the NFL reserves the right to place a punishment at that point.
