The Warpath presents: Salary Cap 101

[BigRedskinDaddy]

Being new to the site and all, I just discovered this gem of a thread. My compliments the authors. It is very informative, and I know a lot more about the cap now than I did a couple of minutes ago.

Thanks -

So far, nope. Not even in a down economy. The cap limit exceeded expectations, coming in at 127 million. 4.0 million more than the projected 123.

This is reflective of the consistently strong demand for games on TV and tickets. Revenue is actually coming in higher than forecasts, even in down years.

at some point :P i didn't say i saw it coming, but that's the only real risk... it'd involve a new contract with lower or equal money from TV, which is possible, but i don't see happening soon (thanks inflation!).

From what I heard on ESPN, the cap was higher than normal because teams were not using enough of thier cap space and the players have some sort of provision for that that increases it so that teams like the skins can spend more.

Cool, so essentially we're already migrating to a capless world in a lot of ways.
