[carpanfan96]

In a significant move that could impact the flow of money to potential free agents and the competitive balance of teams, the NFL has notified the players' union that, effective next March, owners will pull the plug on the $100-million-per-year revenue-sharing program that has subsidized lower-revenue clubs, mulitple sources said.

They are officially gonna make this league suck balls like the MLB. First the salary cap and now the salary minimum is gone too. There's gonna be no more any given sunday and just a bunch of Yankees Red Sox crap. I guess the Dallas airport will be pretty busy the day FA starts.

Wait, dont we have a billionaire owner too, who has never been shy about being right at the edge of the salary cap?

[Sam Mills Fan]

I don't get why people worry about this. Big Cat spends money, always has. Jacksonville am cry though.

Such a shame. It's going to be incredibly difficult to return to the parity this league enjoys.

Die in a fire Jones/Snyder.

Big Cat will not get into bidding wars with Jones and Synder, those two teams will exceed any other teams in paying for talent/coaches...both will be like the NY Yankees and ruin the NFL. what makes the NFL the top sport, is the fact ANY team has the same chance to win in any given year, provided they make the right moves from the FO to the players on the field. not what they can afford to pay, which gives bigger markets an unfair advantage.

I always find a little funny that we Americans love one of the most controled and socialist of sports while Europeans love one of the most free market and capitalistic.

God people are doom and gloom. The Panthers were very successful when there was no cap and we even spent a butt load when we first came into the league to get vet guys. Dose everyone forget about Salt and Pepper? I mean now days there is no way to afford talent like that for that long. Anyways there will be a lockout after next year if nothing is done with the CBA and thats gonna really suck balls.

[DaveThePanther2008]

This is just the start of many moves to get some sort of agreement. I don't think the owners want to ruin a good thing. I also think they won't agree to exactly what they are giving up now.

Gonna be interesting. I would hate to see the minority run the majority.

Do the Right Thing. PLEASE

To be honest, there shouldn't be a problem. They can shell out all the money they want, but there will always be the ones who look "worse" but come out blazing and that is what will keep the smaller teams in the game.
