Question about the Uncapped season...

[AKPantherFan]

How does this change teams after this uncapped year?

If a team goes out and spends 40 million over what the current cap is set at (and it wont matter because the year is uncapped)

How does that effect a team in 2011 if a new CBA is reached and teams are over the new cap limit?

i WOULD guess that teams would have to cut those players? But even then they would take a cap hit anyways...

I guess this whole uncertainty will make teams conservative when spending this offseason????

Can big spending this offseason KILL teams in the future- its hard to say considering no one knows what the new CBA will say...

Food for thought I guess...

Any answers?

I would imagine a new CBA instituting a new salary cap would include some sort of buffer period to allow team's to get back under the cap. No way the NFLPA would agree to a new CBA that would potentially lead to many, many players being cut due to the new cap. That would also create a situation where many teams could not sign those cut players due to being very near the new cap as well.

Since it looks like a new CBA won't be worked out (I think the owners are set on a lockout) it really won't matter in 2011. And because of this, I think most owners will not be breaking the bank to sign players, just the opposite, saving their money. But if someone like J Jones or Snyder does, I would assume they would have to make some cuts to get under the cap (if one exists) once a new CBA is worked out.

as long as that $40mil was for just 2010 there wouldn't be any long term problem.
