Report: Redskins will lose millions in cap space

Adam Schefter just tweeted the following:

NFL is taking away millions of dolllar of salary-cap space from Cowboys and Redskins for how they front-loaded deals during uncapped year.

That makes me a saaaaad panda.

That's ridiculous. If they operated in an uncapped year how is it those deals can be retroactively "capped" now? BS.

I wonder if that was something the team knew when it made the trade with St. Louis.

And most importantly: How many millions?

Apparently the justification is that the league told teams not to front-load contracts in this way, using the uncapped year as an end-run around the salary cap in future years.

Thats still BS. You can't on one side of your mouth officially say "uncapped," then with the other side say it is unofficially. C'mon this is ridiculous.

I don't think the league ever said "This year is uncapped, do whatever you want." That was the media/public characterization of league rules.

I don't understand this. They didn't violate any rules and took advantage of the uncapped year. What's the problem?

We're going to lose $36M in cap space??

[DaveKShape]

Schefter is reporting we lose $36 million in space (please kill me).

If the league told them not to do it and they did it then well they violated League rules.

Still sounds like bs to me too.

and I wonder if this ties into the trade rumpor we are shopping players for picks

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.

Bye bye Hall, Moss, Davis, Williams, Doughty, Beck.

That is rough. Shanahan and Allen are idiots.

Hate hearing this. The only good part of it is that the Cowboys don't have millions of cap room to lose. They might wind up having to dump a lot of players.
