If the commissioner's decision is unappealable, which it evidently likely is, here's an idea as to how Mr. Snyder and Mr. Allen might make the most of the situation:
We were theoretically planning on committing big dollars this year in new future financial obligations, based on freed up salary cap room created by moving some previous out-year obligations to the now past uncapped year. Thus the purported competitive advantage for the Redskins in free agency. If those dollars we were willing to spend now can't be spend on salary, please use them for something else that is an "uncapped" expense.
Stadium improvements, walkway overpasses to improve safety at roadway intersections, beautification of grounds, charitable giving, free beer (kidding, mostly), or anything else. Make the fans happy that the Redskins nation is made whole in some other entertaining way, since this is in fact an entertainment business. Win or lose on the field, the business of the NFL itself is entertainment. Might as well look at it that way.
Have I misunderstood capology? Can we turn this to a short-term fan experience fund for capital projects now? Sure, investing in talent would be the highest priority, but we can't do that according to Mr. Goodell. Let's make the most of it.
