It's kind of a "win-win" situation because if an extension is not reached there won't be a cap in 2007...We just have to cut who we can cut, sign who we can sign, and trade who we can trade. It seems devastating but I think we'll be alright...If not; We will have our fun in 2007.
Considering that an extension isn’t reach, I suggest we trade up in the draft to acquire a WR using next year’s picks. Without a cap, who needs the draft when we can sign proven players where money isn't an issue? |
One issue is that in the uncapped year there are other rules that go into effect, one of them being that the free agency year moves to the 7th year of NFL experience. There are other things that were also built into the current CBA to serve as encouragement to avoid losing the cap though I don't know what they all are.
