The NFL labor agreement is good news for teams like the Washington Redskins. With the players union and owners agreeing to a deal that runs through 2029, players and clubs can now negotiate long-term contracts without the uncertain backdrop of a strike or lockout looming.
In other words: Get ready to see a flurry of action.
Starting Monday, teams can negotiate with other teams’ free agents when the NFL’s legal tampering window opens. In a memo sent to teams Sunday, the NFL announced its salary cap at $198.2 million, slightly lower than what insiders projected.
That leaves the Redskins with $59.
