Well, in fairness, that penalty probably saved the Redskins from themselves. It's only been recent that Washington is spending money wisely.
Horseshit. Shanahnan said they would never have made the trade up for Griffin had they know this was coming. It was totally crap to penalize a team for contract previously approved by the league. The timing, an hour before a free agency period they had spent two years planning for, was an unnecessary twist of the knife orchestrated by Mara. Their past, when Snyder was making the dumb moves, had nothing to do with how this penalty which was enacted when Snyder was no longer making football decisions killed the team.
