curious as well

If we finish in the top four, we cannot sign any free-agents unless we lose one. If we only lose 2 free-agents, we can only sign 2.

If we finish top 8, we cannot start signing free-agents until we lose our 1st one.

So who do we sign after we cut Grant & Bush?

Re: Uncapped year
 

And I believe we can only sign a new FA for the same amount our lost FA was signed for by his new team.

Re: Uncapped year
 

Sounds like a government created plan. PLEASE keep it capped!

Re: Uncapped year
 

Government INfootball....?


I just puked.

Re: Uncapped year
 

WTF? Is this for real? I knew the uncapped year would affect us but I didn't know it would be this radical. I guess we better get to cutting players now.;)

Re: Uncapped year
 

Yep. It's for real...and it's stuuu-huuuu-huuuuu-pid...

...in my most humble opinion...
:brood:

Re: Uncapped year
 

Gonna be very interesting to say the least. Right now I would have to say Grant and Bush are gone, probably add Brunell to that list too, but really, no idea on how this will work. IMO the salary cap is working and there is really no need to rock the boat. There were a lot of pains in the beginning that seem to be worked out now. I just hope there is not a work stoppage. This issue has lockout written all over it.

The union - wants more of the pie and of course wants whip cream and ju ju beans to boot

The NFL - They say their the pie is cut fair and wont give up the ju ju's or the cream

The fans - we wonder how big these two pieces of the pie really are. But like two year olds both the NFL and the union refuse to show us their slice of the pie.

Me - I am still wondering why we subsidize these two brats still.

The NFL is doing everything to keep a lid on salaries, no matter how silly it seems. Parity is the word here. The NFL does not want to turn into baseball. Unfortunately small market teams are favored to win the super bowl this year. This is going to blow up in there faces if an owner decides to open up his wallet and play Yankee ball this year.

other than IMO others have posted pretty much all I understand of this pile of crap we all find ourselves standing in right now

...and there is a threat of NO FOOTBALL in 2011.

Re: Uncapped year
 

Most things any league office do are stupid. They sure as heck are not looking out for the normal fans out there.

Re: Uncapped year
 

Well the NFL has been pretty smart about most things. But this kind of issue is inevitable when the amount of $$$ flying around any company is off the charts like this.

In the perfect butterfly world the owners and players would sit down and agree that they make enough money and beer prices at stadiums should be $1. But I doubt that will ever happen.
