CRedskinsrule, Well, they have said that we will see more contracts of 5-6 yrs before the drafted player can look to change teams. Teams can pay the bonus money up front and it won't count against the team and the teams will not be limited as to what they can spend. The only real big issue is going to be teams will not be able to hord all the good players. In order to sign a big name the play off teams will have to let one go. Other teams will be limited to like 2-3 players if they did not make the play offs. So I'm not saying players will not leave for money but the owner will have the availability to match other offers with out being constrained or decide to let the player go. Rookies will most likely be held for 5-6 yrs before they can jump ship.

I don't know perhaps I'm wrong in what I thought I understood. I felt the good news was owners hands will not be tied to how much they can spend and due to that maybe more players will end up staying with a team they started with. Which means your jerseys will last longer. yes or no?
