I don't believe this BS for a second.

And we didn't even go crazy last year.. in actuality don't we have more roll over + the cap space totaling ~80 million?

From Pro football Talk:

[T]he NFL instructed teams not to use the uncapped years as a way to dump money in order to ensure that cap numbers in years with a salary cap would be lower.

If the NFL did in fact let teams know about this then we have the most incompetent front office in the entire league.

WTF. All of these moves were APPROVED by the NFL! We sent modified contacts to the NFL, they approved them, and NOW the moves aren't OK!

That is why they had to send contracts to the league for approval! They signed off on then do they were OK with the NFL at one time.

Man I hope this can get appealed.

This is beyond lame. Play within the rules and still get killed??

Just out of curiosity how much cap space did the Cowboys have?

by **CanesSkins26** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 2:50 pm

Andrew Brandt reporting it was the Haynesworth and Hall contracts that resulted in the penalty.

HOPEFULLY - IF this is true, Snyder will fire the FO and bring in somebody that knows how to manage this franchise

OR

bring back Cerrato :twisted:

Well whatever... Aren't we used to disappointment by now Redskins fans? I guess we aren't allowed more than 48 hours of happiness.

Even if they allow an appeal, free agency starts tomorrow.

Ain't that the truth

by **ferryrich** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:12 pm

And the allowance goes to other teams?!

by **HEROHAMO** » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:17 pm

I am not worried about it. Our front office has always done wonders making the numbers work. I have full confidence we can still sign the players we need.
