mark32esu 18 Posted March 24, 2006 i never knew what the exact penalty is and i dont know how the redskins dont have to pay it cause for some reason it seems theyre in cap trouble every year yet they can go out and sign big contracts for just about anybody.

shovelheadt 71 Posted March 24, 2006 As of yet, never happened. I read an article where they speculated that it could range from draft picks to million dollar fines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portis26 0 Posted March 24, 2006 As of yet, never happened. I read an article where they speculated that it could range from draft picks to million dollar fines. Denver Broncos got caught paying Elway "under the table" and they I think they got a few drafts picks tkaen away from them or maybe it was Miami - with Marino -- not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 550 Posted March 24, 2006 Denver Broncos got caught paying Elway "under the table" and they I think they got a few drafts picks tkaen away from them or maybe it was Miami - with Marino -- not sure Denver and SF both got caught bypassing the cap (giving players money under the table), but no one's been over the cap yet.

Cheating in the years they won the SB Some picks were taken away, but I'm not sure how many or what rounds. I think they were no less than 3rd RD picks though.

birdbrain3X 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Your punishment is to troll the Earth as a Cowboy, Giant or Redskin fan. Constantly waiting for a team that can contend for a title or the NFC East or even just make the playoffs. All the while reciting the same mantra over and over again..."How many Rings do you have?, how many Rings do you have?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall_Law 0 Posted March 25, 2006 Pat Kirwin, on Sirus Radio, said that a team cannot be over the cap. He said that the top 51 salaries or so are what count against the cap, and if you are over, then the NFL will cut your 51st player and keep cutting until you are under the cap. He didn't mention anything about a penalty, Denver got penalized for circumventing the cap, which is different then just being "over" the cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was talk before the new CBA that the Redskins would not be able to get under the cap. Washington gives out so much in signing bonus, cutting players could cost more than keeping them.

Heard on ESPN News today that in the AFL, the Colorado Crush CHOOSE to carry two less players than every other team, this way they can pay their players more. Interesting (the AFL also has lots of guys that go both ways though, so its easier to do that). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting (the AFL also has lots of guys that go both ways though, so its easier to do that). But in the NFL, that'd only free up about half a million. Not really enough to make a difference.
