Re: 2007 Uncapped Year
This is interesting stuff, and someone should post a reply so I might as well be the first...
I have nothing to say. Need to read more about the situation but I just can't see them going to an uncapped year. There's no turning back after that

Re: 2007 Uncapped Year
I would love to comment on the article, as it appeared to be interesting. But after 10 PM, my ADD really kicks in, and I realize that i cant see more than 6 months into the future.

Re: 2007 Uncapped Year
The NFLPA had an "uncapped situation" as soon as the Federal Judge ruled that the NFL "limited free agency" was illegal. The NFLPA negotiated away that status in favor of the cap situation. People need to go back and read that last sentence one more time so they might understand the history of the salary cap that exists now.
It is rhetorical flourish to say that if the NFL "ever went uncapped" there is no turning back. They turned back once before and they can do it again. There IS a Redskin danger here. Given the propsect of an uncapped year, imagine the spending binge that Danny Boy will undertake. Then they will need to conform to a cap. Can you say "Salary Cap Hell"?

Curmudgeon, I'm guessing what you were referring to was Plan B Free Agency right? But I must say I didn't realize that there was a cap before then. I thought the cap came after the judge ruled Plan B illegal

Re: 2007 Uncapped Year
We could also dump Brunell in '07 (if he's not already gone) and take the cap 'hit' then too.

Re: 2007 Uncapped Year
The way things have been set up already with contracts screams this is their intention. Dan is a wizard in working the system.

I think Canuck said that it's likely we'll see Brunell cut after June 1 next year. |

Re: 2007 Uncapped Year
Nah! Brunnell will be here for the entire HOF Coach Gibbs tenure! After all, he saved his life during their first meeting!
