No Salary Cap

[Carolina Crazy V2]

In a couple years, isn't there gonna be a no cap year? Anyone know what year that is?

[joemac]

2010, maybe...

[Panther Boyd]

Are they even trying to work out a new CBA? If we lose the cap, the Cowboys will turn into the Yankees of the NFL.

[Jerkyboy]

The cowboys already are the yankees of the nfl and look where it gets them. You can't just put a bunch of superstars together and automatically win. I think it;s gonna be hilarious to see Jerry Jones spend 200 mil a year and still not win a playoff game.

[bleys]

They got rid of the cap to get a rookie cap worked into a new agreement. I believe they are bringing the cap back.. But I can't confirm that.

the cowboys have hired a bunch of superstars? like who? romo was undrafted, barber came through their system and so was witten. they signed TO, and if drops were a positive stat then i guess that makes TO the best at it. in all seriousness though the cowboys generally sign thugs with media names rather than quality players. pac man is a bust, he's never been a good player and i doubt he ever will be.

I didn't necessarily mean that they have bought everyone on the team but they have a bunch of superstars and can't get it too work. But they have signed some big names in the past couple of years and yes they are cancers which is really my point. They don't seem to care what quality people they are as long as they are good at football. And yes Pac man was a very good football player, probably the best at what he did at the time but not anymore, and you forgot about Roy Williams that they broke the bank for. Don't tell me you don't think Jerry Jones wouldn't go nuts if there was no salary cap.

2011 IIRC. We have a two year window, then teams such as New York and Chicago will take us to lunch, having full autonomy to hire whatever free agents they want without consideration of the cap, etc....

this isnt a definite tho is it???

[Kurb]

Nothing is for sure.

[goncrazi]

Every extension of the CBA leaves an uncapped year at the end. It's their way of forcing the owners and the NFLPA to reach an extension agreement before the old one expires. The only way there will actually be an uncapped year is if the owners pushes for an amended rookie pay scale and the players refuse.

[Fox007]

Would be nice to see a rookie pay scale or limit.

Most everyone is for it. Except, of course, first-round rookies and their agents.

I could care less
