If we had an owner who wasn't as rich, I'm sure the Redskins would not be a part of any gang of 9.
The NFL is one league and all the ships will rise together or sink together.

League seems to be pretty good as it stands right now. Why would exapnding the shared revenues help it? I think that is what Danny is fighting against. The exspansion of the shared revenues is a blatant attempt for the lesser successful revenue teams to increase their profits while doing nothing to benefit the league. The cap is going to end up just about the same in any case if the CBA is extended. Either they will expand the shared revenues but the players will get a smaller percentage of a larger pot or the revenues stay basically the same and the players get a larger percentage of a smaller pot. The real issues here are setting the precedent of including these other evenue streams which will in the future decrease profits for teams like the Skins. The CBA will happen when the owners figure their end out.
