Cap Question

Crazy why would you say we would cut him after 6/1/06 and have deadcap in 2007? There is no cap in 2007 yet. This is a uncapped year and the way that things have been going between NFLPA and the NFL, an aggreement to the CBA will not happen. Expect no cap for 2007 or if they do agree a change in the cap system. I honestly think the the Redskins are playing their cards for the 2007 season and will break the bank. What is your thought on this?

Agreed, that's one reason why I think they'll push the money to 2007. Another reason is that we are already in toruble for 2006.

I really hope they renew the CBA and get rid of that uncapped year. First off, what would I do all year? Secondly I've seen how badly baseball is run and I don't ever want to go back to that, even if we'd have the greatest advantage in the new system.

The definition of an "Unlikely To Be Earned" incentive is that it's something they did not achieve the previous year. One of the eight incentives is that the team offense finishes 29th or higher in the league rankings (based on yardage gained). Last year the team finished 30th, so technically this was not achieved last year and thus it's labeled ULTBE. But this is a team incentive, so Brunell can be cheering from the sidelines rooting for Ramsey to take the team to a 29th ranking or higher, which is nearly certain to happen.

This makes sense. I'm surprised the ULTBE standards aren't a little tougher but i'm not complaining.

The result is the ULTBE incentive does not count against the cap like you mentioned. I'm not sure, but now that I think about it, I don't think it would count against the 2006 cap if the incentive were met.

You may be right I'm not sure. I was under the impression that if the incentive is met, even if it's unlikely, it will count against the cap the following year.
