As for the Skins. We won our SB titles before the cap.

One thing for sure. No Cap and the bench for some gets alot deeper. If the cap goes some teams will have awesome special teams and the others will suck even worse than they do now if that is possible.

Jax is already in the hole and talking moving and thats with the cap.
Bengals actually started something until they hired the thugs.
GB is the staple of Wisconsin. It will survive. build a bigger stadium and charg more. lol.

Carolina started out on the cusp. They can't even fill their stadium.

NO owner has committed himself. plus all he wants is a free stadium to stay.

Buff yeah you might be right they are talking about moving to Canada. LOL

I wonder how many teams moved before the cap vs after the cap started. I'm not sure if the Rams count. Look at the Raiders, I think they move just to change uniforms.

Cardinals. Oilers/Titans. Baltimore. I don't even think Detroit plays in Detroit. Maybe if the owner spent a little of his money to advertise and think of new ways to generate income instead of relying on the lucrative market fans (Redskins/Dalls) to support their needs and stadiums our ticket prices would come down to the affordable level. or not.

Get rid of the god damned cap. I am tired of seeing mediocre/ socialized football. There is no such thing as a small market team anymore save a few exceptions(Detroit). Why drag most of the league down only to promote parody(mediocrity). I mean look at the state of the league. Is there really parody? You had only a few real good teams that were real well honed machines and then a bunch of mediocre teams with a few real crappy teams like Miami and Oakland. I am sorry guys, I want to see great football. I miss the old Gibby days, the old Walsh Days, Marty, Reeves, etc. Pre cap era you had some really good teams out there(Wash, Dallas, Giants, San Fran, Buffalo, Cleveland, Denver, Chicago, Miami, Oakland) not just a league that had only 3 good teams in it. Let the money fly. Teams like Oakland and Miami can be competitive again real soon since they are in big markets. Let the market decide who is competitve, not the jerks from the NFL.

I can remember the "Team players". I know most of you youngins won't recognize what I'm sayin but true "team players" did not defect to the enemy because the curret team could not afford to keep you or pay what you thought you were worth. Now it's all business...dollars and cents. You would see only the occassional player that left his team that drafted him but for the most part players were kept when they were drafted. not long gone after 4-5 yrs.

No one can say there were complete dominances because the Steelers came and went, 49ers came and went, Miami came and went, Houston came and went and same with the Jets, and Baltimore. No team stayed a dynasty for yrs.

Now a days you can draft someone then after 4-5 yrs the player is gone. Moved on to greener pastures or better pay. It's hard to build a team and keep continuity when you have constant turnover.

I never understood why fans outside of one market should be subjected to paying higher prices for everything to see a portion of the profit not stay with the team or players or upgrading the facility but to see the money get shipped out to another market to help an owner pay his players or for his stadium? All the while the owner refuses to dip into his pocket or savings to put a better product on the field to entertain and bring more of a fan base.

Drop the cap and force owners to buy into a health plan for their players. 32 team times what 52 players per team should bring enough players to get a good low costing insurance and force the players to take a % of their earnings and invest it for retirement.
