WooooHooooo. Ooops did I write that out loud? Sorry. I remember how the teams worked prior to the agreement. I can say that, that's the only time I have been able to identify a "Corps Redskin" as the old ball coach used to say. Players didn't have to jump ship for better pay because the team they were on was to close to the CAP and couldn't give him what he wanted. I always viewed those players as traitors up and until recently when I realized it's not about whether they want to be a Redskin, It was about how much the Redskins were willing to pay the player.

I guess I trying to say I hope it is better then the system they have now. Allow teams to keep the players they need to keep.

I vote to drop the CAP. Start an incentive based pay system. Put a limit on what Rookies can earn and give them only 2-3yr contracts to show case their talent in the NFL then allow them to get the million dollar contracts.
