Can anyone confirm, there is NO cap floor!

[Highlandfire]

Apparently, per John Clayton just now.

The minimum spend was part of the labor agreement all the way through, but it was dropped in the 11th hour from the 2011 and 2012 seasons to get votes from buffalo, cinci, and some other small markets.

So this means until 2013 teams do NOT have to spend to 89% of the cap but the League must spend 99% total.

If that is the case then many need to quit calling JR Cheap because the man doesn't have to reach the bottom, he actually wants to win. (time to insert my 'I told you he had a plan this entire time' :D )

But if you want to see cheap, look no further than that cheap assed bastard Ralph Wilson in Buffalo. Hell his GM buddy nix came out and said 'We aren't spending big in FA'. How would you have felt if Hurney said 'nope, gonna just gonna do it cheap and hope we draft good'? Seems Ralph found a way to pocket some more money before he dies. Said it before, will say it again there is WAY, WAY worse than JR that own teams.

If this is true, then I had no idea.

I think it was established fairly quickly this week that the CAP FLOOR isn't any part of our thinking...

LMAO no joke, but it explains why Several teams haven't went out and started spending although the talent is there.

Yeah, but I also just saw a tweet from Andrew Brandt that said the salary floor thing isn't calculated until the end of the season, or something like that... Don't quote me on it. But, he said it wasn't mandatory at the start of the season, just the end.

Maybe that's why some teams are dragging their feet? Regardless, that seems ridiculous b/c if a team like the Bengals has about 49 mil in cap space now and have to spend 99% of the cap... How are they going to find 49 mil worth of investments in scrubs from now until the end of the season?

Are you surprised that Denver hasn't done anything? I bet Bronco fans love it!

[Proudiddy]

They signed Willis McGahee this morning... Wait... yeah, nevermind, they still haven't done anything. :lol:

[rayzor]

from andrew brandt who knows a thing or two about all this

adbrandt For those waiting for team's spending spree: spending minimums calculated at the end - not the beginning -- of the season. Patience.

[Fan01]

God gravy, I don't see how the Bengals have any fans at all.

[Jangler]

I think some teams might be playing the Luck sweepstakes. What do they think this is...the NBA?

[L-TownCat]

Yeah i actually feel sorry for bungle fans. Just a thought, a Panther isnt much different from a tiger.... feel free to join up with us cinnci, after all we are sister cities.

[MrBubba]

Would explain why Bucs have been so quiet and they were like Gazllion dollars under cap

[KBlizz]

Bengal fans around here are generally really dumb. besides, ohio teams are used to losing, aside from ohio state. See the browns, bengals, reds (other than the big red machine and the title in 1990, and as of recently), the indians, cavs, etc. so it's no big deal to some of the people around here that they like a losing team.
