But since the economy crashed in September, is that even a reasonable assumption? I mean, you have the TV deals, and the season ticket sales were already wrapped up at that point, but the single game ticket sales and merchandise revenue had to drop a little bit from last year.

Basically, I think that the cap projection of 123 mil that was made prior to the economic downturn probably affected gross league revenues, and I would be surprised if the cap pushed north of 119 mil.

And if this can be construed as an excuse for getting rid of Casey Rabach, then count me in.

LOL at the Rabach comment.

You're absolutely right, the $123 million cap limit is a preliminary projection at this point. The NFL will publish the actual cap limit in the coming weeks. The economic downturn could indeed result in a lower number than previously expected.
