I agree with the salary cap comment comparing the NFL to hockey/baseball....one thing I would like the see the NFL adapt is the NBA Larry Bird type exception where you could sign a long term verteran player and have that salary NOT count against the cap........at least that might help a little to keep long time veteran players and have continuity for a team.....................

And here's another to add to your "dead weight" list......Gardner.......dropped too many balls and stupid penalties........
