Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?

Let's face it: if you can't buy all the talent you'd ever want with a totally obscene 130 million dollar cap, there's something wrong with your business plan. Despite the average player salary being significantly lower than in baseball, pretty much every team currently has the capability to spend like the Red Sox.

The salary cap used to be the main drive behind parity, but since about 2005, it's only meant anything to Dan Snyder and the Titans the one year they had to tear down because of poor cap management. In it's current state, it's biggest effect on the game is the salary floor. Nothing would happen among the top two thirds of the league if it went away.

Now the 2010 uncapped year under the current CBA...that could be actually interesting.

But let's face it, after all the cap space we're not supposed to have, the fact that we fit Haynesworth and Hall under the cap with plenty of room to spare means that the cap is pretty much useless to the mid and large markets.
