Washington & Dallas Penalties - Make Sense????

[Patler]

So assuming 2013 is relatively flat as anticipated (say $122mil), the upper limit of the cap in 2014 is $122 increased 18.6% or

somewhere south of $145 million.

When the CBS and Fox contracts were signed, they said fees would increase 6-7% each year during the contract. Not sure about the details on the other contracts. There was discussion at the time that there would be a significant, but not overwhelming cap increase the first year, but then relatively consistent growth each year.

There was discussion at the time that there would be a significant, but not overwhelming cap increase the first year, but then relatively consistent growth each year.

Robert Kraft expanded on his initial assertion about a cap baloon and said that the Networks asked for and got a slower growing curve in rights fees in early years of the deal. So the bulk of the increase to be paid would apparently happen after the first couple of years.

The subsequent explanation of why they wanted this (to demonstrate that it was a wise decision to management and investors) isn't quite as clear. And I am not sure if Kraft made that comment or the writer was paraphrasing others.

can't imagine the league doing what they did, against the two most visible owners, without doing their due diligence on the repercussions.

and the league dog-piled dal and wash with the vote today. again...i don't think they'd have done this without feeling sure it would stick. i'll bet dal and wash just take their medicine without throwing a tantrum.

[woodbuck27]

Yes, I do remember.

I don't remember. I'm even trying to remember 'who am I' on Packerrats? Is cloneing in these days in the US of A?

CANADA IS ALWAYS SO BEHIND.

Patler? Anyone??

How is it with 'the fact of' or a reality of... the CAP penalty on the Washington Redskins.

That this organization can be so fricken active in Free Agency? So active in pursueing an Andrew Luck or RG3? Where are they finding all the even 'virtual reality' .... $dough$ ?

Are they dreaming in technicolor or are we the fans being 'hood winked' by this CAP penalty...NO CAP penalty, bullshit?

Did NFLPA borrow against future salary caps to get to $120.6 million in 2012?

Posted by Mike Florio on March 28, 2012, 10:09 PM EDT

".. in exchange for taking $23 million in 2012 and 2013 from the Redskins and Cowboys, the salary cap was increased from $116 million per team to $120.6 million per team.

That’s $147.2 million. So where did it come from?" from Article above.

McNair says there was no union “quid pro quo” for Redskins-Cowboys cap penalties

Posted by Mike Florio on April 2, 2012, 7:48 PM EDT

"Surely, the union got something. Any suggestion otherwise by McNair or anyone else connected to the league creates the impression that the NFLPA did something that undermines the interests of its constituents, with no benefit in return." fr. Article

The Washington Redskins Organization needs a core revision and a solid Franchise QB and supporting cast. When does the 'Bad News" stop?
