I would guess they were warned about it, if not then they don't deserve any fine. But I think they will try to appeal it anyway. $36 million is WAY too much.

Maybe, but we don't have any idea how serious the cap violations were. How can you say it's way to much when you don't even know WHAT they did?

Can't blame them for trying to take advantage of the situation. Even with the warnings, It's an opportunity to put yourself in a position to make the organization better. It just backfired them. That's the way the cookie crumbles.

But they knew there would be severe consequences. How is that putting themselves in a better situation?
LOL; the Redskins are so pathetic. They need any advantage they can get to move out of the gutter but if you need to resort to blatant rule breaking than you know your entire franchise is **** and needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
For the glory it once had, it really is a piss poor organization and needs a complete corporate restructuring.

RGIII can't be stoked about going to a team with no high draft picks and a $36m penalty.
So much for rebuilding.

The eagles and the Giants are probably happy hearing this news competition wise.

They definitely are. $32,000,000 taken away over the next 2 years for the Redskins? Brutal.
Poor RG 3. Not even in the league yet and ALREADY he's going to be thrown into a mess.
I hope RG3 demands a trade once he gets drafted like Eli did. This poor kid is going to get prison raped until his first contract runs out.
By then he might be Vince Young who just got beat into submission and now is relegated to a backup. RG3 is definitely better than Young, so I am not comparing them in that fashion but the Redskins are a mess and this will not end well for RG3.

Actually, wasn't Eli going to the Giants more his father's doing? I remember Archie Manning being REAL vocal with "my son WILL NOT play for San Diego".

Redskins stay losing.
36 million is a lot. It just is and they were warned too so that makes it look worse. I can't really talk too bad about the Cowboys. A few seasons ago they were just signing guys that nobody else wanted and got burned so they are just dealing with the consequences of that.

36 million is a ton! RG3 better hope Garcon finds some new life in Washington, because they won't be getting much more this offseason.
I just feel bad for all the players coming in this coming season that had nothing to do with any of this Redskins or Cowboy drama.

There seemed to have been a "gentleman's agreement" and those four teams broke it. In my eyes they made their own bed. Plus, my team getting some extra cap space is never anything to overly complain about.

What? Why? They were told by the NFL not to do it, multiple times.
If your boss tells you not to do something multiple times and you continue to do it, you'd be lucky to only get a fine.
