Redskins, Cowboys could go “nuclear” over cap mess

I have heard nothing since that 29-0 crap vote asking other owners "do you want to keep your extra $1.6 million or not". That was late March.

Me either. Nor have I heard anything from HoopheadVII.

Yeah this is lame. I know this is not considered an emergency and probably should not be rushed but one would think if you already have the Arbitures ear (Bountygate) he might as well hear this issue also. Then there is the question will it be the same Arbiture? and how hard is it to contact him and say give us a date your calender is open to hear the issues. It's like someone is stalling this whole issue so the Arbiture won't come out and say "the league was wrong and they have to give the CAP back" for fear the Skins will go out and pick up some more FA's, and they don't want it heard before the draft so the Arbiture won't give the teams draft picks as compensation for any unjust punishement.

I gust we just have to be resolved that this issue will not be heard for a long time and if we are lucky we get our CAP space back to be used next year which the other owners probably could care less about. Their concern is one team picking up all the decent talent in one offseason which they squashed easily this year. Their only small concern now is how to give back the CAP space that was spread out amongst other teams especially if it was used already.

Ya know, I just picture John Mara going to a whole bunch of Skins/Cowboys boards and throwing his justification out. LOL

LOL! Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

LOL. I get my news here. I just got inspired by JoeRedskin to read the actual docs and give my opinion from there.

Was there ever any news on what we would be seeking as retribution? I don't remember a team every being wronged by the league before and been able to take it to court. I'm very interested to see what would happen if we win. I say compensatory picks.

The only 'compensation' we would receive would be a reversal of the cap penalty. While true that it put us at a competitive disadvantage, i dont believe you can expect the pendulum to swing that far back our way.

LOL! Funny thing is, I actually did as well, and posted a link to the old CBA in one of these threads. Might be this one, several pages back.

I would be fine with just reversing the cap penalty. It wouldn't obviously change what has been done this season, but next season would be great.
