It was long believed that, if the salary cap ever disappeared, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Redskins owner Daniel Snyder would embark on an arms race, spending like drunken Steinbrenners in an effort to buy a championship.

The numbers suggest that they did. The reality is that they didn't.

Per a league source, the Cowboys have committed a whopping $166.5 million to player compensation in 2010. The Redskins have pushed it even higher, spending $178.2 million.

In contrast, and as we pointed out earlier in the day, the Bucs, Chiefs, and Jaguars are each under $90 million. With the Buccaneers at $80 million, both the Cowboys and the Redskins have spent more than two dollars for every dollar spent by the Bucs.

But the Cowboys and the Redskins haven't racked up that bill by buying new players in 2010. Instead, both teams structured contracts in the past with an eye toward pushing large sums of money into the uncapped year. Recently, for example, the Cowboys gave receiver Miles Austin a contract with a $17 million base salary in 2010.

How do we lead the league in spending we really didn't sign anyone this year.

Thats true they did pay Haynesworth upfront and DeAnglo. Along with cutting those players in the at the start of Free Agency. PFT made it seem that if an agreement was made with the CBA that the Skins and the Cowboys would be penelized.
