Dallas, Washington stripped of cap space

[Portis26 0]

Let’s hear from ESPN’s Dan Graziano on his immediate thoughts following the NFL’s ruling:

 

This seems a pretty ridiculous thing for the league to do. Either the year is uncapped or it’s not. To tell teams, “Yeah, it’s uncapped, but don’t spend too much this year just because of that, or we’ll fine you for it down the road” feels a little bit like collusion to me. But this is the NFL, which does what it wants and makes up the rules as it goes along.

 

Also, as Andrew Brandt points out, “All NFL contracts are approved by the NFL Management Council. Curious that there is now punishment for these contracts.”

 

If the league had a problem with the restructuring of these two deals, then why not handle the situation when it happened rather than waiting a year and dropping a bombshell 24 hours before the start of free agency? That’s nothing but evil and vindictive. That’s expected behavior from a scorned ex-girlfriend. Not the commissioner of a billion-dollar business.

Sounds more and more like to me 1 (or all) of the 30 owners realized they had gotten duped by Snyder and Clowny, got pissed, then reminded Rog Goodell that he's scheduled to be making $20 million a year in the not so distant future. He figured out pretty quick that he was in jeopardy of focking up his deal and pull some shiat out of his ass to make (his real) bosses happy.

It seems pretty shady that the ruling came down right before free agency started. It sort of has the feel of throw it against the wall and see what sticks kind of policy decisions.

 

The Redskins sure aren't acting like they recieved any notification from the league about this.

Coincidentally, our GM has reported they haven't received any notification from the league about this. I don't know if that's changed since last week.
