Yeah, I agree. The timing could hardly be worse and could have been avoided.

Even if we can appeal i think players and agents would be very worry of signing deals with us until the outcome is finalized, as they may become future cap causalities. Just a lot of uncertanity.

I do feel like this has saved us from ourselves to some extent. No VJax in my eyes is a good thing.

So whats worse, all this money goes away, the nfl approves this than disapproves it, or the fact we have josh wilson returning to start in our secondary next year..

Re: NFL taking away Redskins cap space

Complete garbage on the timing of this though. I wonder if the FO knew thought this could happen before making the trade for RG3?

Probably not unless the Cowboys cut a bunch of folks. They're in worse shape than we are.
