This is EXACTLY the scenario that I'd been asking should Payton/Loomis' practice of pushing the debt into the future (kinda like Congress) and got me blocked for asking it...

It'll be interesting to see if the cap gets rolled back exactly who we'd have to let go, or couldn't be extended because of current, past cap commitments...

I would assume the league would override the cap formula based upon the extenuating circumstances. There is no way they would force teams to cut a plethora of players to follow a dramatically declined expected income. The NFL's success depends upon competitive balance above everything.

Don't forget, the owners own the league. They can change those type of rules without any player input ... not that players would object. I serious doubt there is anything to worry about down those lines.

The realist in me would agree with you, however...

Keep in mind, we're not exactly on the Commissioner's Christmas Card List, and I don't know that Gayle Benson has the stroke among the owners that Tommy-boy had...

And this could give a few teams the opportunity to breakthrough on us...

Goodell saw the writing on the wall when he cut his own salary out so he can keep his nose way up the asres of the owners , it’s coming pay cuts that is and I expect it won’t be less than 20% across the board for players coaches and employees and they should not fight it in the least bit. And it’s going to take a few years to revert. This is just ST’s opinion and not hearsay
