Roger Goodell calls Dan Snyder to discuss the salary cap

Apparently, there are some very sheisty dealings going on with the Redskins right now, in an effort to slide in under the salary cap. The league office reportedly caught word of this, and the commissioner himself placed a personal phone call to Dan Snyder. Included after the jump is the actual transcript of the conversation:

Star-divide

 [start recording]

RG: ::dials 1-703-555-CASH::

DS's secretary: "Thank you for calling Redskins Park, Mr. Goodell. Mr. Snyder will be with you in a few moments."

::2 minutes later::

DS: "Roger! How are you? How are things in New York? Always great to talk to you!"

RG: “Mr. Snyder, this is commissioner Goodell calling. We’d like to talk to you about the salary cap.”

DS: "Say... that sure was a pretty fancy necktie you had at the last league meeting... give you two 1st round picks for it?"

RG: "Mr. Snyder, I'm the commissioner...  can't use draft picks..."

DS: "Fine. Three 1st round picks, but no higher!"

RG: "Mr. Snyder, about the salary ca..."

DS: "FOUR 1st round picks. Final offer."

RG: "NO, Mr. Snyder, you cannot have my tie. Now, about the salary cap?"

DS: “Errrm.... okay. ::sounds nervous:: Ah, yes. The salary cap. Great invention, creates parity throughout the league by preventing rich guys from spending their own money. Okay, so what did you want to talk about?”

RG: “Well… firstly, we’re not sure that your contract with Albert Haynesworth will allow you to stay under the cap…”

DS: “Albert who?”

RG: “Albert Haynesworth?”

DS: “Who?”

RG: “…….."

RG: "Okay, nevermind, we can come back to that. The DeAngelo Hall contract also pushes you over the top.”

DS: “DeAngelo — You mean DeAngelo Williams? He plays for the Panthers. Talk to them. Wait — is he a free agent too??”

RG: “No, DeAngelo Hall, the cornerback you just signe….. know what? Skip it.”

DS: “Alright. I honestly have no idea who you’re talking about.”

RG: “Now, on to your $700 million, 40 year contract to Derrick Dockery. This deal also places you in violation of the salary cap.”

DS: “Well, only $10 million of that is guaranteed, so — errr, I mean… who is Derrick Dockery? I don’t really know what you’re talking about.”

RG: “………..”

DS: "........."

RG: ::click::

VC: "Who was that?"

DS: "Must have had the wrong number. So, is the jet fueled up? Let's go get Kurt and Housh."

That's

Lions Fan Here...

Hey, you guys in D.C. seem to have this whole economics thing figured out. Is there anyway you can throw a brother a bone in the D. And the Fords could use another bailout to finance the whole thing! C’mon we’re Damn near suicidal up here.

Are you guys

gonna draft Stafford, or trade down?

As an economic libertarian, I’m against bailouts, but OTOH, I also love my 2004 Ford Focus…

Stafford?!? NOOOOOOooooo.......

I hope we don’t draft Stafford (Much more talent at QB next year) and we already restructered Culpeppers deal to be incentive based with alot less guarenteed money. I’d love to trade out of the 30 mill 1st pick signing bonus bomb, but nobody wants it. So we need to build from the lines BOTH O AND D! We got 5 picks in the first 3 rounds and need to draft the highest rated OT,MLB, DT, CB, S, we can get our hands on (in that order too, IMO).
As far as bailouts go, Ford didn’t take any of the inital money from congress. That was GM and Chrysler. And realisticaly there probabaly ain’t to much left to give.

Are you guys

pumped to be w/o Millen, for the first draft in 80 years? 5 picks in the first 3 rounds is a pretty nice haul. Thank the Cowboys on our behalf, too.

There’s always more money to give — we just borrow it: just like we’ve been doing for the last 9 years. And I’m really glad that Ford is in a much better place than the other two — my car doesn’t have a warranty anymore, but I’d still be concerned if Ford went under. They were smart in getting loan guarantees long before the current crisis — Chrysler will probably have to die, though.

Hillarious Not...

….Snyder seriously has figureda way to cheat andsign players to money that is over the cap….guess you gota hand it to him. However im glad you got haynesworth I was worrried that we might get him in Detroit and have signed the bigggest bust in history.

by BennieBladesFan on Feb 28, 2009 8:18 AM EST reply actions  

You were worried that Detroit might sign a bust?

I’m worried that later I’m going to eat dinner.

Go register. Or else.

Yeah....

that’s the only thing that makes that comment fair.

The deal is officially for $100 million and 7 years,

but it’s probably actually only good for like 3 years. After that, he’ll be restructured or cut. Only like $30 million is guaranteed.

Although you would think...

That one of the inside beat reporters would put together the packages with the team salary to show exactly how the Redskins are making the cap. How much money is left for the draft or other free agents.

You think I'm joking

about the whole “Redskins pretend they haven’t actually signed anyone” thing.

I’m not.
