This information is given to teams as they attempt to plan ahead for the future impact of restructures.  This is good to great news for us.  Good news that if Brant Tillis does his accounting correctly we can kick the can on a few bad deals with minimal impact, Moten in particular. (Great player, bad cap number.  You can do a three year extension much easier now)  Great news when you consider that we need to sign some of our existing free agents to deals, Horn/Mjax.

I guess the salaries for QBs and the other players in the top 5% will be getting richer.  They really need caps for players on the roster. 
2 players earn up to $25m

3 players earn up to 20m

5 players earn up to 10m

etc.  Players union should insist on this.

 

I think that ship has sailed - there is no way you are gonna get QB's to take the necessary pay cut to make this realistic now that their salaries are so inflated.

It's the same for every team. Every fanbase acts like this is going to help their team so much. All it really means is that all the re-signing and free agency contracts just increased accordingly.

The players' union is never going to agree to something like that. Putting the cap on rookie deals was something that benefited older players, which is why that got put into place. Restricting vet players though? Not happening.

Even though it would benefit the vast majority of the union members.

I don't like capping contracts though. Uncapped contracts in a hard cap league is a big part of what keeps the NFL competitive and gives bad teams hope. Teams can't just outspend their rivals to load up and paying a top tier player means you have to make sacrifices elsewhere on your roster.

True, but the majority of the union are backups and bottom of the roster guys that don't have power. So, I don't see it happening.

I do too.  if it were phased in, however, like the rookie cap, maybe.  If it came from the union, it would be a majority vote.  the big salaried  members would lose. SUre there are other legal concerns.

Maybe something like % caps could get by. 

Like no more than 60% spent to one side of the ball than the other. 

Unless individual positions were % capped, don't really see a way to make the rest of it work due to so many teams relying on those early rookie contracts to be competitive.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
