Redskins | Team facing salary cap penalties
Sun, 5 Mar 2006 0908 -0800

Mark Curnutte, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports the Washington Redskins might not be able to get under the salary cap of $94.5 million for the 2006 season. Several owners believe the Redskins will not be able to get under $98 million because of all the amortization left on signing bonuses. The club faces a fine and/or forfeiture of draft picks. A group of small-market owners are watching to see how NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue might punish them.

 

It seems to me the owners have lowered their offer from last week. I wonder of the small market owners are wanted no deal, for now, to get Snyder. Once he cuts his team, maybe they'll do the deal.

 

No. They wrote what everyone else is writing. This was along time ago, before they were around, and it was a mainstream source.

 

How the CBA addresses it:

ENFORCEMENT OF THE SALARY CAP AND ENTERING PLAYER POOL

Section 1. Undisclosed Terms: At the time a Club and a player enter into any Player Contract, or any renegotiation, extension or amendment of a Player Contract, there shall be no undisclosed agreements of any kind, express or implied, oral or written, or promises, undertakings, representations, commitments, inducements, assurances of intent, or understandings of any kind, between such player and any Club involving consideration of any kind to be paid, furnished or made available or guaranteed to the player, or Player Affiliate, by the Club or Club Affiliate either during the term of the Player Contract or thereafter.

Section 2. Circumvention: Neither the parties hereto, nor any Club or player shall enter into any agreement, Player Contract, Offer Sheet or other transaction which includes any terms that are designed to serve the purpose of defeating or circumventing the intention of the parties as reflected by (a) the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Defined Gross Revenues, Salary Cap, Entering Player Pool, and Minimum Team Salary, and (b) any other term and provision of this Agreement. However, any conduct permitted by this Agreement shall not be considered to be a violation of this provision.

Section 3. Special Master Action: Any individual player or the NFLPA acting on that player’s or any number of players’ behalf, the NFL, and any Club may bring an action before the Special Master alleging a violation of Article XVII (Entering Player Pool) and/or Article XXIV (Guaranteed League‑wide Salary, Salary Cap & Minimum Team Salary) of this Agreement. Issues of relief and liability shall be determined in the same proceeding. The complaining party shall bear the burden of demonstrating by a clear preponderance of the evidence that the challenged conduct was in violation of Article XVII (Entering Player Pool) and/or Article XXIV (Guaranteed League‑wide Salary, Salary Cap Minimum Team Salary).

Section 4. Commissioner Disapproval: In the event the Commissioner disapproves any Player Contract as being in violation of Article XVII (Entering Player Pool) and/or Article XXIV (Guaranteed League‑wide Salary, Salary Cap & Minimum Team Salary), he shall at the time of such disapproval notify the NFLPA, all affected Clubs, and all affected players of such disapproval in writing and the reasons therefor. Except as required by the terms of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to affect (i) any authority of the Commissioner to approve or disapprove Player Contracts and (ii) the effect of the Commissioner’s approval or disapproval on the validity of such Player Contracts.

Section 5. Special Master Review: In the event that the Commissioner disapproves a Player Contract pursuant to Section 4 above, the NFLPA, any affected Club, and any affected player shall have the right within thirty (30) days of such person’s notice of such disapproval to initiate a proceeding before the Special Master to determine whether such contract is in violation of Article XVII (Entering Player Pool) and/or Article XXIV (Guaranteed League‑wide Salary, Salary Cap & Minimum Team Salary). The Special Master shall review the dispute de novo, and shall have the authority to approve such Player Contracts in lieu of the Commissioner’s approval, or confirm the Commissioner’s disapproval. In the event the Commissioner’s disapproval is upheld, the player and the Club shall have ten (10) days to attempt to renegotiate such Player Contract notwithstanding any other time period set forth in this Agreement. The Special Master does not have the authority to impose any revisions to such Player Contract on the player or the Club.

Section 6. Sanctions: In the event that the Special Master finds a violation of this Section 1 of this Article, the Commissioner shall be authorized to impose a fine of up to $2,000,000 payable to the NFL, upon any Club found to have committed such violation, and shall be authorized to void any Player Contract(s) that was (or were) the direct cause of such violation.

 

That almost sounds like Tags can indeed cut their squad for them. That word "direct" cause may make things muddy.

38 minutes and counting.

 

Just a thought. Each team must have one year minumum rookie salary for each pick to be able to participate in the draft. I've seen that in a reliable place (that I don't remember either). If the Skins are still over by draft time, they will not draft at all, I guess.
