What do you want to see in a new CBA?

Wanted to get a feel for what everyone is looking for in a new CBA. For example do you want the cap to come back? How should rookie contracts be handled? Basically anything you can think of. Heres my wish list

- No Salary Cap

- No Final 8 Free Agent Rule

- No Franchising players for more then 1 year

- Revenue sharing and luxury tax to help smaller market teams, though unlike baseball, teams will be forced to spend a large portion of that money specifically on player salaries, rather then "improving the product on the field."

- Rookie pay scale. I personally thought of something similar to a combination of draft position and a percentage of the franchise tag for a rookies respective position. So for example with QB's the first pick would be a 3 year contract at 25% of the franchise tag the second pick would be 24% and so on. 3 year contracts would also give small market teams one extra year to try to sign young players.

- Minimum payroll. No going Florida Marlins on the league fielding an entire team for $10 million. This kind of goes hand and hand with the revenue sharing and luxury tax.

- No extra games or playoff teams. This part of the system is fine.

- No poison pills.

- Increased emphasis on retired players.
