True, the one major thing the union has to hold over the owners is an uncapped year in 07 & beyond. The cap holds labor costs down even if you're over it, like the danny is.

the uncapped year in 2007 is a bluff by the players. bidwell could decided to spend 15mill fielding a worthless team (no vet min, no salary floor which is currently 54mill) and he could pocket 65+mill a year from shared tv revenues. he's lucky that arizona is a vacation spot, so he can just advertise for visiting teams and still get decent ticket and concession cash.

If a few teams went the route of the clippers (which were NEVER in contention, but ALWAYS profitable), where is all this extra cash for the players? the top 5 at a position will get more money. Everyone else loses though. vet min is 235-770k a year, but in 2007, the NFL can drop it to 100-120k and still be 20-50% higher in salary than the cfl or afl.
