Episode Details

In 2010, the NFLs salary cap was abolished, allowing teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins to lavishly spend on players like Miles Austin and Albert Haynesworth. However, in 2012, the league retaliated, penalizing these teams and redistributing the lost cap space among other teams. The NFL Players Association filed a collusion lawsuit, alleging a secret cap that shorted wages, but it was dismissed due to a new labor deal. The penalties had on-field consequences, with the Cowboys cutting star DeMarcus Ware and the Redskins struggling. Jerry Jones bold moves, from his 1995 stadium sponsorship to his recent controversies, have always been subject to the leagues regulations, serving as lessons for all.
