Nice.

Great minds think alike.

What do you think the Cap will be ?

It will at least give us 10 mil more than we already have

Not to pee on anybody's parade, but it also gives everyone ELSE 10 million more on the cap.

Anywhere from 104 to 108. Most likely 105.

Also dont forget teams can only pro rate a bonus over 5 years this year with the new CBA, 6 Years next year, and goes back to 5 years every year after that.

So although teams will now have cap space to work with the teams with more money are still in the advantage since you cant pro rate a deal over 7 years for some of the bigger FA's and deals which will take a lot of cap space away on the alrger deals.

Nothing can pee on this parade! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

 

[slanidrac16]

I can't believe it. I guess even rich guys know when they got a good thing!

 

[joeshmo]

I think it is only a small disadvantage. We can still offer more money then most other teams.

Our Pie is still bigger then other teams.

New cap for this year $104 million per ESPNews

 

[RedViper]

Vote was 30 to 2. Buffalo and Cinci the two no's. Interesting.

What was the cap this year before this whole mess?

That is interesting.

I wonder which teams proposal they used, or if they used a combo of the 4 on the table.

94.5

I'm hungry.

 

[joeshmo]

Is Will Allen still in town or will be in town tommorow?

Has MJ said anything.

 

[Evil Ash]

My guess would be the combo. Vic Carrucci(sp?) said that one of his insiders called the new deal "incredibly complicated"

 

[joeshmo]

Has ESPN said that FA period will start tommorow or Thursday like they stated before if a new CBA deal was approved.

 

[Evil Ash]

Cutting deadline delayed til 11 p.m. EST. FA begins as planned 12:01 a.m. EST

 

[JeffGollin]

Schefter said earlier tonight that, if the deal was consummated, the cap deadline and FA period could be pushed back til early Friday.

 

[slanidrac16]

I'm hungry.

Wow! Glad to see you post so quickly! Please thank Management for getting this done and preserving the greatest sport in the world, our beloved NFL for the next 6 years.
Oh yes, one other thing. Mention to Micheal,Rod and Denny theres no time to sleep.

GO OUT AND GET US SOME FREE AGENTS!!!!

 

[Evil Ash]

Correction: Its been just reported that FA will in fact be delayed 24 hrs.

Eh I can live with it now that the deal is done

 

[slanidrac16]

I can live with another 24 hr delay!
