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 |

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
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. |

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
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.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
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. |

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
Good only cuz im a skins fan. The current salary cap is a joke anyways since a unproven rookie can be the richest guy on the team from day 1.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
I have mixed feelings on the salary cap. The league has all of these different ways for small market teams to compete yet it seems teams yearly dont spend to improve their football team. Its funny when you look at the amount of salary cap space some teams have. I hate how the Skins spend and cant win yet other teams lowball their players and dont spend to improve their team yet they win. Being a Redskin fan I kinda hope the cap goes away so teams that want to win and spend to win arent held back. I realize the NFL will suffer as a whole as some teams will suck because they dont have the resources to sign players. As a Skins fan though im tired of seeing teams try to save a buck yet compete.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
Let's face it: if you can't buy all the talent you'd ever want with a totally obscene 130 million dollar cap, there's something wrong with your business plan. Despite the average player salary being significantly lower than in baseball, pretty much every team currently has the capability to spend like the Red Sox.
The salary cap used to be the main drive behind parity, but since about 2005, it's only meant anything to Dan Snyder and the Titans the one year they had to tear down because of poor cap management. In it's current state, it's biggest effect on the game is the salary floor. Nothing would happen among the top two thirds of the league if it went away. Now the 2010 uncapped year under the current CBA...that could be actually interesting. But let's face it, after all the cap space we're not supposed to have, the fact that we fit Haynesworth and Hall under the cap with plenty of room to spare means that the cap is pretty much useless to the mid and large markets.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
Danny will be sure to pass the buck along to the fans for sure. I'm sure he'll find a way to make us pay to take a piss.
The salary cap is a good thing.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
Definitely helps the Redskins so I like it. I think most teams have money and fans that will support them so they can afford to get some players if there were no cap. I don't see it becoming baseball, firstly because it is more popular and also because there is more parity in football than baseball. Any given Sunday with any weird bounce the game can change and emotion/intensity is much more of a factor.

Re: NFL uncapped -- Good or bad in your eyes?
I don't think it's as simple as "there's no cap, go spend freely." There are a lot of triggers in place that really limit team's ability to spend in an uncapped year, for one thing the number of unrestricted free agents will be greatly reduced. Also, I'm pretty certain there are other owners out there who will spend as much, if not more than, as Snyder with no cap.

I do think we'll see an increase in trades since you won't be wrecking your cap for years to come by trading players around.
