If it is a fairly common thing in the NFL, what can you do? The NFL better not penalize the Redskins because of this. There's no one there now that would have been involved back then. Why punish the 2012 Redskins for something the 2004-2007 Redskins did?

Institutional control. The team is the entity being punished--not the individual coaches and players. I agree that it would be insane to fine Mike Shanahan or the current defensive coaches for this. But it makes perfect sense to dock the team draft choices and/or fine the team.
