Yeah the basic problem with the owners is Total Revenue Sharing right now teams don't share things like Stadium name gross, Radio deals, stadiums or team sponsor,etc.. So low revenue teams complain that high revenue teams, like Cowboys, Redskins, Texans, Cleveland have more money during FA to give players large Signing Bonus and it hurths their chances to compete.
The High Revenue teams are argueing that they need that revenue because the have mostly larger depts Houston,Washington, Cleveland have build new stadiums and obviusly they didn't pay them up front they took lones wich they have to pay. Dallas will be in the same both this year once the Stadium starts to get build.
Their points is that they had to take more sponsor and exploid their brand to get the revenue necesary to pay for those stadiums. I have to agree with the High revenue teams the idea of a cap is to be competitive NOT EQUAL and if they want to have more revenue well people start finding ways to exploid your brand.
Win some titles for a change change your uniforms like NE did 10 years ago they started to get more revenue and once they won titles are now one of the high revenue teams.
The other problem is with the Union the Owners have offerd 56.2% of the revenue for the players the Union wants at least 60% I can see this going to 58% to get settle because the union needs the CBA more than the owners.
And for the rest of you the CAP has been anounced at 94.5 mill and the deadline to get in to the cap has been moved from 4pm to 10pm so they can have more time to settle the CBA and don't drop more players.
So start to make your predictions of who would restructure his contract besides brunell and how many players would get cut if the CBA doesn't get sign tonigh.
