I'm not buying into anything until a deal is actually announced. I just hope all the rumors of them getting close are real.

So, if teams are required to spend 90 percent of the salary cap in cash, wouldn't teams with a ton of dead cap space go over the cap? Or in this system would there be no such thing as dead cap space?

Ha, I was watching a baseball game on ESPN last night during the Stanley Cup intermission and saw a funny crawl on the bottom talking about "laywers kicked out", "talks almost blew up" and someone saying "it would be borderline insane to think a deal can be reached in 2 weeks".

Yesterday MORNING (Mike and Mike and ESPN Radio news), ESPN was reporting a deal was about to be drawn up and could be days until it's done.

Make up your minds!

on the lockout insurance issue, there really is very little damage IF, no games are missed due to a lockout, thus it is not a hard issue to resolve as part of the overall settlements. The NHL locked out their players for a year, and were not charged with irreparable harm fines. I can't see any court setting a precedent like that, but since most of this is all about threats of loss of money, I guess it could hang over the owners heads.

I'm predicting the new CBA is just about finalized but will take a few more weeks to get completed.

BigHairedAristocrat · 06-16-2011, 11:49 AM

An agreement in principle may be reached in a few weeks but an actual CBA (legally binding, fully completed document) will take months and likely wouldn't be finished in 2011.

I just want this lockout to end so I can see who we actually go after in FA.

I say this because we're linked to Nnamdi and he seems like he'd be great on our team, but at the same time do we think that since him and DeAngelo have played together before and that didn't go well would the Skins try that again and risk having another Haynesworth FA bust?

We're linked to Aubrayo Franklin, but with Anthony Bryant showing promise and us drafting Neild does that mean we want to see the young talent we have or do we want to just go for the older proven guy?

Davin Joesph- He's good and is a position of need and has ties to Bruce Allen, but could ask for a ridiculous contract and is injury prone, do we just stay with the guys we have?

Cullen Jenkins- He can be injury prone, and ask for a lot since he has that super bowl ring. The Skins already got Jarvis Jenkins and have Carriker who showed promise at the end of the year; do we go after a proven high risk, high reward guy and spend tons on him or stick with what we got?

Zero chance of Asomugha being a FA bust. He's a high character guy with too much pride and passion for the game to become another AH.

Not a bust anywhere else; but here..maybe we have a history of taking good or great players and making them suck, then they leave here and become good again.

Sign him for less money than he could get elsewhere with the idea that he has a better chance of getting a ring with them.

MTK · 06-16-2011, 03:21 PM

That doesn't happen anywhere else?

Still say zero chance, he's just too good.

I can't wait till the Lockout's lifted,
picking Free Agents so were benefitted,
watchin the Skins as their gettin younger,
dancin in the end zone like it's a wonder,
no one knows if they will make their stamp,
all we know is we hope they will be champs.
