Will Team Be Penalized For Suspensions?

[Swanny]

Am I the only one who really isn't bothered by this stuff?

It certainly makes things more interesting to watch but I'm not too concerned

It doesn't bother me either. It's because I don't look at football players as hero's. There are far more important people in this world to look up to than NFL football players.

 

[big dog cowboy]

exactly and they get the space back on the salary cap

they will save almost 3m with RMcClain
DLawrence saves 230k
RGregory saves 350k

Somehow I think Goodell got it wrong. Again. When you fine a team for less than they save on the salary cap it makes the NFL look bad.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Yes the team is penalized because they don't get to use suspended players during their suspension. Great question sir

Actually it is a 250K fine, the loss of the players is kinda a given

 

[DandyDon52]

Yes, we have to pay $250,000, but not picks.

that is a joke, jerrys wife spends that in a hour buying art.
What is that fine supposed to accomplish?
It is not going to affect the jones boys and what they do at all.

Where does the money go??
They should send that money over here to the C zone and let us divvy it up !!
For our stress due to the suspensions !

The funny thing is the money goes to the league--the same leauge responsible for making the decision on suspensions.

The league is the owners though, so does jerry get a little of that??
The NFL is the owners,31 + GB

I would imagine it goes to "charity" like regular player fines.

Is that $$$$ off the CAP?

I would imagine it will not affect the cap, similar to a fine. However, I so think some of the player salaries will come off the cap if thy're not playing. Not too sure.

It is actually a percentage of the savings up to a 250k max

DAL has 3 guys suspended so they get a 25% fine
PITT has 2 guys suspended so they get a 15% fine

and it looks like just the base salaries are used, not roster bonuses in RMcClain's contract

that is why Brady re-did his deal down to a 1m base salary this year....he saved himself 2-3m in lost wages knowing that the suspension was probably coming

 

[Nightman]

DAL saves all the money not paid due to the suspensions against the cap...it could upwards of 4m with our 3 guys

 

[Seven]

No, you're not the only one.

I luv sitting back and watch others...

You're a sick, sick man, Micheal Winicki...................

smart move

 

[Nightman]

smart move

they are thorough with their duplicity

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

Nah we will just lose games because of it, no big deal.

So the Cowboys have 3 dumb ***** on the roster.

This sounds like the same thing the Commanders and Cowboys did a few years back.

Circumventing the CAP.

But from a players standpoint - where the owner gave his blessing.

 

[Hardline]

An appropriate fine would be forcing Jerrah to sell the franchise.

The Pats actually lose space against the cap because they are allowed to deduct any money they save from suspensions...they gave him a large signing bonus to make up for it so he is whole and they have to eventually account for the same amount of money so the League is OK....just creative shakanery

 

[ragman]

That's how Jerry thinks. All news is good news. lol

Correct.

JJ doesn't care if it's bad news or good news. As long as people talk about the Cowboys, that's all he cares about.
