This sounds like something that should be appealed.
We worked the system. League had to have approved contracts, right?
Yeah, that's what I can't figure out. Can’t say it makes sense that the NFL is penalizing these moves two years after the fact, especially when they were legal at the time, but here we are.
Especially when teams like the Eagles do this all the time. And teams used that year to dump salaries knowing they wouldn't have to worry about cap space. We actually held onto people, and signed more, and we are penalized?
And for our trouble we ended up going 6-10 and then 8-8. If you're gonna exploit loopholes then make it worth it.
Hey, let's see what we can get away with and still suck.
The league including Jerry and Dan knew of this long before now. I'm told it's not as cut and dry as it sounds and in the end will not be as dry as just losing 10 or 36mil as it seems. I don't have details, I have just been told it's not as earth shattering as it seems (from a Cowboys standpoint).
On the other hand, consider this, Jerry knew about this far in advance and despite that he continued to speak on being aggressive in Free Agency. To me it seems they have had some time to prepare for this.

From DCC: Broaddus says the Cowboys intend to take the entire hit next year, not spread it out. We'll see.

What a fucking ******.
People with ACTUAL sources are saying that the competition committee wouldn't set the cap until the league dealt with this issue. Which happened today. So to say say jerry or dan knew about this long before now is retarded. Yeah they knew this was an issue, but that's all.
I'm pretty sure they received notice beforehand that they would be losing cap space. That would make the most sense seeing as how slow the league moves when handing down penalties. It's a pretty thorough process.
