[IrMitchell]

So what I'm getting from that is there will be nothing that stops the Redskins tomorrow.

[Dirtbag59]

Here's whats going to happen if the NFL decides to go after the Skins cap space.

Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones are probably the only two people that can afford better attorneys than the NFL. Take em down Danny Boy.

Statement from the Cowgirls:

The Dallas Cowboys were in compliance with all league salary cap rules during the uncapped year. We look forward to the start of the free agency period where our commitment to improving our team remains unchanged.

Jesus Christ. Way to go Skins. Well, I guess this is the business as usual in Washington they're always talking about.

[JWsleep]

So, perhaps the move is: **** you. Either show us the documented infraction, properly served, or we are not going to give you a cent from our caps.

Then the league will have to pony up some documentation, and we can appeal in the usual way. But to pony up the documentation would expose just how ****ed and targeted this punishment is. Then the skins and cowroids can say, hey, what about the bears, pack, etc? And off we go.

[Coff]

So we had to cut Atogwe. That's great. And there's a good chance we'll have to cut Hall? What a secondary!

and thats my point. Either stop the whole NFL process since they seemed to wait till the last minute to bring it up or hold off with any punishments until the team or both teams can argue their cases. One would hope there is an appeal process for this and that the punishement is held off untill the appeal can be heard.

I just don't see how Collusion applies;
Collusion | Define Collusion at Dictionary.com

col·lu·sion

   /kəˈluʒən/ Show Spelled[kuh-loo-zhuhn] Show IPA
noun 1. a secret agreement, especially for fraudulent or treacherous purposes; conspiracy: Some of his employees were acting in collusion to rob him.

2. Law . a secret understanding between two or more persons to gain something illegally, to defraud another of his or her rights, or to appear as adversaries though in agreement: collusion of husband and wife to obtain a divorce.

Ok so
A- who did the Skins have a secret agreement with?
B- who was frauded?
C- for what treacherous purposes?

the second definition;
A- who did the Skins have a secret understanding with?
B- how did the Skins gain anything legally?
C- who's rights were defrauded?
D- who was our adversary in agreement?

Please don't say we colluded with Dallas to defraud the other owners of their rights to what? get below the CAP? WTF? and if it was illegal wouldn't the Feds be getting involved? Oh wait... there was no rule or law against it. So at this point all the owners can do is come together in their monthly meeting and all agree they don't want it to happen again and then pass some rule saying they can't do it. Otherwise.... get off our backs because you all didn't think of it.
