dayman Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Punished for front loading contracts in uncapped year. Adam Schefter Cowboys lose $10 million in cap space, Redskins lose $36 million in space. Can split it over 2012 and 2013 any way they want. More at ESPN. Adam Schefter All that money goes to 28 other teams -- $1.6 million each -- except for Saints and Raiders, who don't get any but don't lose any. ...the Redskins now have no draft picks and no money either haha Edited March 12, 2012 by dayman
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Redskins new cap number (if they take the hit all this year) = -$4.9 MILLION Bills new cap number = $32.4 million Cowboys new cap number = -$5.3 million Edited March 12, 2012 by BEAST MODE BABY!
dayman Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Dude we have 32.4M of free space THIS YEAR? No excuses Bills...bring in some talent for God's sake!
BEAST MODE BABY! Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Dude we have 32.4M of free space THIS YEAR? No excuses Bills...bring in some talent for God's sake! Yup. $30.8 million + 1.6 = $32.4 MILLION dollars
NoSaint Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 well that is interesting. should hurt them going after vjax
dwight in philly Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 could not have happened to two better owners! i am loving this.. i wonder if both, will accept it gracefully?? but talking about making someone's day!
cantankerous Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Now we know why the Redskins didn't mind giving up all those draft picks for the #2 this year.

They traded up for RGIII. They've been already awarded the Super Bowl win. PTR Edited March 12, 2012 by PromoTheRobot
Deep2Moulds46 Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 "Redskins will not be outbid for Vincent Jackson" except of course......if they get pickpocketed for $30 million on the way to the auction. Serves them right. Trying to cheat the system. The two most valuable franchises in the NFL trying to cut corners.....good job NFL. Stick it to them.
NoSaint Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 so the uncapped year was actually capped. really the salary floor is all that disappeared?
showmeSP Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I find this immensely satisfying. Nothing irks me more than big money teams trying to buy a championship. The Vincent Jackson race just became a lot more interesting.
Dorkington Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Dude we have 32.4M of free space THIS YEAR? No excuses Bills...bring in some talent for God's sake! Git'er dun! (Seriously guys, we've waited long enough. Get us some players, some wins, and we'll show you a ridiculous amount of ZOMG support that no team has seen in a long time.)
DC Tom Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 so the uncapped year was actually capped. really the salary floor is all that disappeared? There's got to be more to it...like maybe front-loading the contracts was done in a way that was illegal or something. Fat lot of good it did the Skins. Ralph and Snyder get the same results almost every year, but Ralph does it for half the price.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Now we know why the Redskins didn't mind giving up all those draft picks for the #2 this year. Sarcasm? Nothing could have gone worse for the Skins after trading away their future. Now they also dont have the cap space to bring in guys around their young QB. I hope RG3 can do it all himself, with no OL and no weapons... That being said, they cant make the deal official until tomorrow. Wonder if they dont back out??

Fat lot of good it did the Skins. Ralph and Snyder get the same results almost every year, but Ralph does it for half the price. Yeah, that. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported that the Redskins and Cowboys each have been docked cap space for using the uncapped 2010 season to dump salary and front-load contracts, which the league instructed teams not to do. link Wonder if Jerrah and Danny would vote to extend the commish's contract if the vote were taken today.

cody Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I hope RG3 can do it all himself, with no OL and no weapons... I predict that RG3 will be this generation's Barry Sanders or Dan Marino. Great players that never had a good enough team around them.
BillsWatch Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 I predict that RG3 will be this generation's Barry Sanders or Dan Marino. Great players that never had a good enough team around them. Disagree about Marino. His play led to early end of career for several running backs and several offense lineman spent many plays trying to cover up his lack of mobility and pocket presence.
