09:32 AM ET 03.18 | Five days after the NFL dropped a salary-cap bomb on the Redskins and the Cowboys, the teams could be retaliating with a bomb of their own. A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that the Redskins and Cowboys could be going "nuclear" with the NFL as soon as Monday. More specifically, the two teams are contemplating suing anyone and everyone connected to the sudden removal of $46 million in total cap space over the next two years, based on the contention that their treatment of the term "uncapped year" too literally somehow created a competitive disadvantage. Even though no rules or policies were violated. The teams will spend the weekend examining every possible option. "Who can I sue and how can I sued them?" will be the operative questions.

These two clowns are an embarrassment to the NFL and should sell their teams to someone with higher ethical standards not to mention common sense.

They should just take their punishment like men instead of acting like a couple of cry babies.

Skins and Cowboys knew it was an uncapped year. The league approved contracts that were designed to take advantage of the lack of salary cap. Nothing was explicit, since the league didn't want to be sued for collusion in keeping a cap that didn't exist contractually.
Nice can of worms you opened here NFL.

While I have little sympathy for these guys, the season in question was "uncapped" per the previous CBA and the removal of cap space reeks of power games by 5th avenue.

The responsibility for this fiasco lies directly in the hands of Goodell. The contracts were approved by the League and no rules were broken. Goodell is a ***** and has got to go. He isn't smart enough to run a 7-11 let alone a multi billion dollar enterprise. He's a joke and it's no longer funny. Between the CBA screw ups, the stupid suspensions and now this maybe we can see the end of this a**hole soon. He has got to be the least competent man in sports management in history.
THIS FOOL HAS GOT TO GO!!!

Agreed.
I would take the same position if it were the GGGMen and Iggles instead of Boys and Skins

Agreed. I don't understand what rules the Cowboys and Redskins violated. Uncapped means uncapped.
The league would have been wise to just let it go.

Amen Otis.
And add extra cap space as the penalty.

I'm an Eagles fan and don't see anything wrong with how the Redskins and Cowboys handled the uncapped year.
As you said, either it was an uncapped year or the league is guilty of collusion.
