Sometimes you want Daniel Snyder to be Daniel Snyder. Like now.
Word arrived late last week that Mr. Snyder and Jerry Jones would fight the NFL's sanction of the Redskins and the Cowboys for maxing out the rules under the 2010 "no cap" year.
The teams will fight the league through arbitration called for under the new CBA rather than the Court system. The judicial process would take longer, involve more hurdles and would be a disaster for the league if the 'Skins and 'Boys won. More on that below.
Arbitration is smarter and faster than lawsuits. Besides, who's impressed by the Redskins legal team? They couldn't talk Snyder out of heartless suits against grandmas in trouble who couldn't play their season ticket bill, or out of making Snyder look petty by suing small city papers over a cartoon.

According to ProFootballWeekly.com, the Washington Redskins may end up releasing veteran wide receiver Santana Moss after June 1st, if he doesn’t decide to take a pay cut. If he does restructure his deal, he’ll likely be back, but nothing is certain at this point.
Moss is scheduled to make $2.65 million in 2012, and I’m sure the Redskins would love to at least cut that number...

I wonder if Mr. Snyder is having a good time at the NFL owners' meeting in Florida this week.
The league bushwhacked the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys for $46 million salary cap. It turns out that the NFL Management Council did the whacking for using the no-cap year (2010) under the old Collective Bargaining Agreement to bring order to the teams' contract structure...

As a player for the Washington Redskins for fewer than two full seasons, Albert Haynesworth was an expensive bust. The 10-year veteran defensive tackle might be even more costly to the Redskins, however, as a former player. Officials from several teams with some basic understanding of the sanctions imposed by the NFL against Washington and Dallas last week - the league penalized...

According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the Cleveland Browns pursued free agent wide receivers Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan before they signed with the Washington Redskins.
My guess is that the Browns weren’t willing to over pay for Garcon and Morgan, the way the Redskins did in order to acquire them.
The Browns truly need to make an upgrade at the receiver...

According to a report from Mary Kay Cabot, the Browns did make some form of an attempt to lure Pierre Garcon to Cleveland. As we all know, Pierre Garcon ended up the same place the second pick in the NFL draft ended up. Also, as we’ve discussed ad nauseum, it has been a bit frustrating for Browns fans to see their 4-12 team “sit idly by” as the top players in free agency get...
