This was all down to the executive and competitions commitee's - both of which are run and chaired by owners.

Goodell's guilty of some things and is no saint, but this aint a one of them though.

Its the owners that drove this one.

If irate WAS & DAL fans want to point the finger, its at the members of both those commitees of which Step[hen Jones is on both, so he knew something was coming their way ...

It's the players union (and the government) that should be upset.

Further news on the cap hits:

I agree completely with you.

The fact that the union is going along with it doesn't make it right, it just means the union got something in return.

The fact that the owners are the ones driving it, not goodell, also doesn't make it right. It further proves collusion.


The owners were worried about it becoming similar to baseball with the Yankees, so they illegally colluded to prevent extra spending. The cowboys and redskins are as close to the Yankees in terms of revenue, so they tried to get some extra spending in.


I disagree with punishment and especially the way it is being handled. That said, I at least appreciate that they are only punished based on what they actually saved, not draft picks. It at least feels fair, if it is upheld as legal.

First, I completely agree on the questionable legality of what occurred and validity of the punishment enforced.

BUT....

All 32 owners agreed to do this behind closed doors, then the Wonder Boys who think they are bigger than they are: Danny Boy and Jerruh, thumbed their noses at their fellow owners and did whatever the hell they wanted. It's no surprise that Al "anti-establishment" Davis did the same thing (although I'm surprised he didn't take more advantage), and by now, we all know Tom Benson is clueless and Mickey Loomis plays by his own rules, so we shouldn't really be shocked at their inclusion as well.

The only thing this story proves is there really is no honor among billionaires.

And with that? Jerruh has done away with the league hit and is back at the races with between $7.5 - $5mill in extra cap space (depending on if he wants to pay the whole hit or not, or just free up the room while he challenges it in case he loses)

Business as usual in DAL

The 49ers had a dynasty over the cap paying luxury taxes for years......
I dont know what all the hoopla is about....I'm quite certain Bruce Allen had some clue that something like this would happen (thank you Vinny Cerrato) to some degree.....
This is a non-issue for the Redskins longterm plans.....fans and haters alike need to take a chill pill.....
we will be more competetive than the haters want us to be...

Well the Skins could still afford to overpay Pierre Garcon.

Nice job Snyder!!

Garcon..

Wow. Deal is done. They must see something in Garcon that I don't.

5 Years, $42.5 Million with $21.5 Guaranteed!!!

Either they broke league rules, or they didn't. If they did, why did the league approve the contracts?

If they didn't, how can the league penalize them?

If I were the Skins and Cowboys I'd ignore the penalty and file a lawsuit.
