Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
obviously it was the skins who leaked this to the media. I imagine if there was a favorable outcome, they would have leaked that as well. Given there's no mention of any reversals, and the only thing leaked was that the NFL admitted the skins did nothing wrong, i would imagine we're still being assessed the 36MM.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
I doubt it but I was wondering the same thing. Is this maybe how we are able to spend so much right now? Maybe Goodell said he'd give the team its money back and let the Skins voice their complaint to the Execs next month or to the rest of the owners next month and push the punishment to next yr and beyond.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
Any updates on this? CSN Washington was still reporting the cap loss last evening.
It seems like we're ignoring it but since we didn't even make an offer to Jackson or any CBs, I'm not sure if it's affecting our moves or not. I love the WR pickups we've made though.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
I read that PFT article about us having no violations but we were at an 'uncompetitive advantage'. That tells me that what we did was legal but frowned upon. So they didn't say (or at least from what we've heard from the skins perspective) we have a violation or salary cap reduction so I would keep spending. Also how can the bucs afford these guys? How are they not at an 'uncompetitive advantage'?

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
As a season ticket holder, I think that my tickets have been devalued and that all ticket holders and even fans should bring a class action siut against the NFL and the players association for not standing up for what is right.

It seems the NFL feels that the Skins didnt get an advantage in the uncapped year but put themself in a position to gain an advantage when the cap resumed. |

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
I can see both sides, the Skins technically didn't violate any rules, but they did go overboard in dumping $$ into the uncapped year and basically gave the rest of the league the finger on what was supposed to be an unwritten understanding.
Still, not sure I agree with the severity of the punishment though. All around a lose/lose for the league if you ask me. I'm normally not the type to rag on Goodell, but I think he made a bad call here. |

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
ti can see both sides of it too -
the league is upset that a couple teams broke lines and behaved ethically and so now theyre being vindictive. they skins and cowboys gave the rest of the league the finger for illegally colluding to screw the players.

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space
I'm sure the Skins were concerned about the ethics of collusion for their reasoning to dump salary. lol
