If that is the case then isnt Dan Snyder's dream coming true in 2007?

Yes. If the CBA doesn't get extended this spring, the Gang of 9 (the 9 high revenue clubs) are just going to dig in their heels and take the league to an era of no salary cap. We'll be buying free agents left and right.

I did realize something though, even though the league will be worse off without a salary cap and will resemble MLB going forward, all the NFC East teams are part of the Gang of 9. Our division should remain very strong and stay very competitive, because every team can afford to bid for free agents. I think as Redskins fans we'd still have a fair amount to look forward to if the salary cap ceases to exist. It would be a shame for the league, but the NFC East should return to the dominance seen in the 80s and 90s.
