How will chris samuels's retirement affect our cap?

Don't expect some free agency bonanza, though. The rules governing free agency will also change in an uncapped year, restricting the movement of free agents.

Wouldn't there be alot of players released with large contracts that are not playing up to there cap number?

Id assume there will be a few more than normal, but this is not madden, this is real money being spent here. It would be hard for many owners to take a massive hit this year for the sake of their teams, especially in the recession.

Not if there's no cap, LOL.

I figured that teams would use this no cap time to drop salaries of unwanted players in case the cap returned.

It's unlikely the players will agree to put a cap back in place once it's gone.

Matty said the same thing. Thank you both. I hadn't thought about it that way.

There is no way there is not going to be some sort of cap back in place. Lets not forget that the owners are the ones that opted out of the cba in order to not pay the players so much. There is no way that the players will actually get more than they would if the original cap were in place.

U actually made good point; I bet they especially don't like paying too much money on rookies..

What's the reasoning for this?

I don't know for sure Dirtbag, but I would think it would be because it puts a restriction on salaries. We lose guys because of the cap. We can't afford to pay them but so much under the cap without having to cut other players or lose them because we can't match the offers from other teams with a cap in place.
