as a vikes fan, it pains me to say that i really like the packers next year...

[BigWeiner]

Keep in mind the salary cap is over, Baltimore is doomed and the Redskins could start signing everyone

[weazel079]

Chargers and Vikings

[DBURGH]

How come the Pats get that much respect?

no offense but you obviously are unaware of the rules and regulations set for the upcoming uncapped year.

none taken. My understanding is that from here on out the salary cap will be no more, I realize this up coming year has some variables that come into play. I also realize that it probably won't effect this upcoming year, but I was just throwing it out there. It will effect future years, correct?

It is a fairly complicated matter. I haven't even taken the time to understand it entirely, however, I have a good gist of it. As of right now the upcoming year is the only one that will be effected. Barring a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) there won't even be football after 2010, there will be a lockout.

As far as 2010 is concerned, the NFL has set many rules and regulations to make this ONE uncapped year as "boring" as possible, if you may. The biggest thing the NFL changed was, players who were scheduled to be free agents this year are unable to hit free agency unless they have 6 years of more of NFL experience. Just about eliminating the entire free agency pool and killing the unlimited free spending so to speak.

For example, Miles Austin of the Dallas Cowboys, under typical circumstances would be a free agent this year and would likely be a hot commodity. However, because Austin has only 3 years of NFL experience he is a restricted free agent.

There are many other rules and regulations the nfl has set to minimize this uncapped year, such as teams that made the final 8 can only sign 1 "BIG MONEY" (above 5.5MM in the first year of the contract) free agent this offseason and a few others. But to make things simple, this offseason wont be crazy or very much different from years past. The biggest problem ahead, is if there is not a new agreement, there wont be football in 2011. If there is an agreement, it is super unlikely that the NFL will be uncapped going forward.

My understanding was that the players will never agree to a salary cap again

It is my opinion that the NFL will not go uncapped moving forward. It is by no means is anything more than that. It is also my opinion that the players would rather have a cap than having to wait 6 years to hit free agency, I just do not see them agreeing to that.

We will just have to wait and see what the new agreement is, if and when there is one. It is all just speculation moving forward, all we really know now is 2010, and 2010 will be considered uncapped but in reality there are far too many restrictions. However, maybe the NFL will turn to a true for of no cap moving forward, but no one knows as of now.

[MtrCtyPimp]

If it is truly uncapped FA rules get moved back 2 years and also teams will get to franchise 2 players instead of 1.

So basically tons of players will still be under team control who normally wouldnt have and 2 guys will have to wait another year for the big bucks instead of the normal 1.

A second problem presented is that the minimum cap will also be repealed for next year so teams who are forced into spending this season might not next season. All in all an uncapped season doesnt mean every team turns into the NYY

PEACE

[MtrCtyPimp]

As far as next year I think Carolina has some value maybe

PEACE

[BigWeiner]

Best value IMO/sort of long shot, is the Houston Texans 30-1
