NFL TRADES MOVES COACHES AND NFL ANNOUNCEMENTS
We had a short season last year followed by a frenzy of trades once the Collective Bargaining Agreement was signed. The changes in the CBA effectively reduce the cost of the franchise tag by averaging the top five players over the past FIVE years instead of the past year. Peyton Manning is available to the highest bidder. The Redskins have moved up with a trade to the Rams so they can get a shot at RG III. Couple that with the number of teams that are wholesale waiving players to get under the CAP and you should check our moves and trades page. Click above to access that valuble information.

Cowboys Headed To Court With The NFL.
Surprise surprise! Jerry Jones announced today that they will seek a legal remedy to their loss of $10 million that was taken off of their CAP for 2012. The NFL reduced the Cowboys and the Redskins for front loading their contracts during the 2011 season. The Skins CAP was reduced by a whopping $36 million. Jones has extended an offer to the Skins for them to join the Cowboy's in the law suit. As I understand it the CAP rules for 2011 was essentially a gentlemen's agreement and all of the contracts were approved by the league. My pappy always told me that agreements like that aren't worth the paper they are writen on.
The Cowboys and Redskins presented their case to the NFL in an owners meeting today. The NFL then convened without Dallas and Washington present. The case will be handled over to arbitration.
3/27/2012 - The NFL owners voted unamimously to uphold the salary cap adjustments against the Cowboys and Redskins.
