Schefter tweet: Cowboys, Skins lose salary cap appeal

[bbgun]

Professor Burbank dismissed the Redskins and Cowboys challenges to get back salary-cap space they lost.

Lemme guess... Binding arbitrator who is selected (aka employed) by the league?

 

[ZeroClub]

That's frustrating news.

The NFL, as an organization, has become progressively less likeable, I think.

Agreed.

DENIED

 

[Midswat]

GFY Goodell.

so that means that both clubs did do something wrong and were punished like I initially thought then?

if so why are the fans all up in arms.

Stephen jones and todd williams who run our cap got caught doing something they were not supposed to and were punished.....

Pretty basic to me, lets all just accept it and move on...

oh and ummm...stephen jones resume is starting to look like his dad's, like you know not really as good as many have hoped for years.

I agree. Stephen sucks as much, or maybe even more than Jerry.

dont get crazy.

jerry is a certifiable nut.

Stephen seems more rational, but I am not so sure he is any better at running a football organization.

I wonder if garrett views him as a RKG? He better hope so or garrett will fill out gm with a family member in a few years, they dont have kids so who knows garrett's wife could be the gm.

RKG. FML.

Team is run by a bunch of monkeys.

I'm glad both appeals were overturned just due to the fact that the Skins are out a whopping 35 million.

Think about it. That is 2 years worth of cap space. Or one year's worth if you have absolutely no talent on your roster because you haven't signed anyone worth a shit in 3 years.

RG3 better be a RKG.

league is run by a bunch of monkeys and ass clowns.

FIFY

No talent, no cap space, no first round draft picks for the next two years... RG3 will be out of the league before Washington even has a chance to help him.

idk what this really means.

Reading looks like the arbitrator is just saying Goodell has the right to hand down these punishments, not that they're right.

iow I don't think this is the end. Just step 1.

lol

At this point it was either, say ok we're done and move on and accept it and use it later for something on another owner or go through a grenade in the same room you're in and fuck yourself as you fuck them in open court. I'd have done the same thing and just said, ok. I'll remember this and go to your corner like a good boy.

 

[superpunk]

Is RKG really a thing now?

Why are you being difficult?

I agree. I'm fine with the Cowboys losing what... $5 million? If the Redskins lost $35 million.
