Looks like the Redskins are out of the Manning Race, if they were ever in it. I feel bad for RG3. Team has no high round draft picks for the next 3 years and is losing a huge chunk of cap space for his growing years.

more money for us.

So, just so I understand, they'll have that much less a cap total than other teams total for the next two years, right? And from what I've read the money they're being punished will be split by other teams (Schefter: "All that money goes to 28 other teams -- $1.6 million each -- except for Saints and Raiders, who don't get any but don't lose any.")

(Shanahan and cap games .. hmmm.)

From how I'm reading it, they are losing 10 (Cowboys) and 36 million (Redskins) in total and have the option to split it over 2012 and 2013 instead of taking the whole hit in 1 year.

Even spliting drives the Cows out of the big FA market

Goodell finally found a way to help out the Steelers and Jets with their cap problems. Well not finally, rather again.

Sweet, a little more money for us and the Redskins are done, they could have stole a few FAs from the pool.

Redskins are being punished for pushing 21m of Haynesworthless' contract and 15m of Landry's into 2010, not sure on the Cowboys.

Should these numbers be subtracted from the cap space numbers Florio provided? If so, the Redskins are underwater and the Cowboys aren't in a position to compete in the FA market.

No...as strongplyr said, the teams can split this between the next two years. Every other team gets an additional 1.6 million...also probably between the next two years. So there's no guarantee this has much effect on THIS year, even though it probably will.

Aside: I read somewhere that Miles Austin's contract was loaded in the uncapped year...that might be Dallas's portion.
