    Re: NFL firesale

    Both sides are pretty stupid for not getting this thing resolved already.

    If you're a fan of a team under the cap, you have to be giddy right now.
    If you're a fan of a team over the cap, you have to be unbelievably ****ed right now.

    the players are going to feel the heavier sting of this much sooner than the owners......

    the word here is that we're under, but either way, we're not so far over like the other teams that we'll be in too much trouble

    From Dallasnews.com

    http://www.cowboysplus.com/topstoryn....7284f02e.html

    If the salary cap is $95 million, as has been projected, the Cowboys will have $3 million to spend but easily can add another $9.6 million to that figure by adjusting the contracts of Marco Rivera and Jason Ferguson

    There continue to be rumors the Washington Redskins, who extended numerous contracts in the past to deal with previous cap crunches, could have to play with 20 rookies on the roster in 2006.

    20 rookies. That's pretty bad.

    Hopefully the NFLPA learned something from the NHLPA, guess we'll see.

    Re: NFL firesale

    Difference is, the NFLPA and NFL are more likely to cave to public pressure of not having a deal than any of the other leagues due to the league's popularity. The decline (short term) of popularity and attendance in the other 3 of the 'Big 4' Sports after work stoppages isn't lost on at least Paul Tagliabue if not the owners.

    For the record, the players are smoking some good stuff if they think the NFL is going to go without a salary cap. The secondary problem is that along with the NFLPA v. Owners battle going on you've also got the Big Markets v. the Little Markets going on as well (ie...Dallas not wanting to revenue share as much as they have been with say Cleveland).

    Re: NFL firesale

    I'll bet by the time this is all over you could start a pretty decent team with all of the players who get cut.

    Teams have until 11pm CST to get under the cap.
