[quote=CRedskinsRule;1189992]How would that system be structured?
A rookie pool, A "keep our own" pool, and a FA cap?

Or something like a transition tag where a team can match any offer, but then only have a certain amount count against the overall cap?

I doubt the players would go along with either of those concepts because they would claim that the league is prohibiting freedom of movement.

Just curious how you would see it worked out[/quote]


Keep the Salary Cap System but add a team option exemption to allow teams exceed the cap [B]only to sign their own players.[/B] If a team exceeds the cap by signing their own, they are [B]prohibited to sign [/B]a high dollar (say more than $1M) Free agent.
IF they want to sign a high dollar >$1M Free agent they then [B]have to get back under the cap to do it[/B]. That will prevent the wealthy teams from going nuts in Free Agency which was the original concern.
Do away with Tagging players system so players once they finish their rookie contract can be free agents if they so choose. Or can choose to stay with the team that drafted them, but the team can now pay him market value with out concern of the cap. That will get the players and fans on board because you will not see fan favorites have to change teams because of the cap. Which happens every year.

skinsfaninok - The comparison to Baseball would not apply because a team over the cap cannot sign even moderately paid free agents until they get back under the cap.

Re: Around the NFL Off season thread 2.0
 

I really don't understand, sorry. Is it a dollar for dollar loss of signings. as an example
(approximate numbers)
The eagles are currently 10M over the cap.

Would they be able to sign Bennett under your idea?
If not do they have to cut their players first then be able to sign him?

If the cap remains, it seems like you simply would end up stopping all trades.

I think a 'keep our own pool' could benefit players, especially the mid-tier players. It would probably make the FA more competitive.

Along with that, players should also be fighting to have a salary cap floor every year, to push cheap teams to spend their cap. Too bad the NFLPA is too busy fighting the league on discipline matters, that only affects a small percentage of teams.

[quote=Giantone;1189994]That is exactly what it is meant to do,seems only the Patriots have figured it out.The NFL wants parity through out the league.[/quote]

The Patriots have an elite QB that gets paid as though he was a below average QB (Brady's 2017 salary ranked 18th among starting QBs). Not to discount what Belichick and Brady have done for that team, but I'm sure not having to pay Brady a lot helps.

Yes, he doesn't want to finish his career anywhere but with the Saints.

He would take a bit of a discount, but I bet if the vikings offered him 3/91 he would take it. (I think they would be better off doing that and seeing how Bridgewater heals)

Vikes would be automatic SB contenders with Brees.

That and being able to win a SB. I think Minnesota is a more complete team than New Orleans.

NFL network "experts" are saying Jarvis Landry is a slot WR. He is not an outside #1 type WR.
Looks like Cleveland might finally trying to not be a cheap team. We will see.

Damn, two picks.

Re: Around the NFL Off season thread 2.0
 

Browns definitely have the talent to succeed.

I believe locker room chemistry plays a HUGE roll in a teams success but there's no doubt they've got the athletic abilities to put up some numbers.

They might not be the "LOL Browns" for much longer.

Why would you give up a 3rd rounder for Taylor? There are free agent QB's available that are better than him.
