That's sort of true. It applies only to the eight teams that make the divisional playoffs the previous season. So if the uncapped year was this offseason it would apply to the teams that are playing this weekend. Other factors that are overlooked.

-Teams would be able to franchise or transition tag up to three players, as opposed to the current one

-Players would have to six years of NFL experience to make them eligible for free agency. Meaning that those of us who might have thought someone like a DeMeco Ryans could be a good 2010 target can forget about it.
