Man that sucks. If the NFL is uncapped, I doubt I will continue to watch for very long because like you said, The REdskins and Cowboys will become the Yankees and Sox, and we will become the Marlins...god dammit, these people make millions each year, the level of greed is atrocious.

Interestingly the Sox and Yankees don't win the world series every year so money isn't the whole solution. Look at the Colts and the Saints in football. They don't have the two highest team salaries. The Saints are 4th and the Colts are 21st. We were 10th.

The league claims it wants more money to expand the NFL which scares me, makes me think a Europeaon team or similar. Let's face it the NFL wouldn't lose any poeple's money and has only fans to gain in a new country which means money.

As I understood (might be wrong), simply put the players make 60% of the money brought in and the league 40%. The league wants to switch that and give them %40 and take %60 go uncapped.

Personally I really things were just kept the way they are. Keep the organization smaller and the talent higher.

The 60-40 split is right but I read that the issue was that in the previous CBA the split was 55-45. The owners gave up another 5% and they want some back. The second article says they might be willing to keep the pot at 60-40 but want some expense credits which would essentially reduce the total pot and thus reduce what the players actually get. The cap is more about the floor than the ceiling. Some teams want to spend less and put it in their pockets. The other big issue facing owners is the revenue sharing plan. Some teams like Dallas don't want to share while others like Buffalo feel they can't continue without the revenue sharing.

Here is a rambling article with a few good points. Just skip the rest.

The panthers are in the top half of the league in revenue because of the PSL's. So I wouldn't worry about that. They have consistently make around 25-30 million a year and are usually found around 10-11th overall in the nfl in revenue and profit. Top twelve in overall team value as well.
