It's up to 32 now? Damn the NFL is spreading like a virus. I guess that's what I get for playing NFL football 96 on my Sega too much. 
If I have to name names I'll throw the Ravens in on that list. They don't deserve to be a team either.

WHAT IF A TEAM IS OVER THE CAP? A league insider raised an interesting point with us on Wednesday. If a team like the Redskins ends up over the salary cap on Friday, what's the worst that can happen? The league can't force the 'Skins to cut players. Instead, the league can impose fines and/or strip the team of draft picks. But if, as in Washington's case, the owner is raking in millions in local unshared revenue (and thus can pay any fine with his "walkin' around" money) and if, as in Washington's case, they won't have the cap room to sign the rookies they draft, what's the downside to writing an easily affordable check and/or giving up their entire 2006 draft class? From the Redskins' perspective, it becomes a basic business decision. Either they cut everyonethey need to cut to get under the salary cap -- or they keep one or two guys we want to keep and face the potential consequences from the league office. Given that Redskins owner Dan Snyder is one of the guys pushing hardest against expanded revenue sharing (thereby making it harder to extend the CBA), our guess is that the Commish would smack the team extra hard if 'Skins don't accept the cap consequences of a failure to strike a deal that can be blamed in part on the position that Snyder has taken regarding revenue sharing.

What would happen to their draft pick if this happened, who receives it?

does anyone else find it ridiculous that if I do a horrible job marketing my team, that I should get paid part of the revenue from Dallas' sponsorships at their stadium?
I hate the idea of no cap, but I think this equality thing is going a little too far. There is a salary cap which prevents the rich from outpricing the poor owners... the rest is just business and they should move to a new market or get better people to run their organization if generating tons of extra income is the goal as an owner.

I don't mind some sharing. Say all teams throw in 25% of their revenue / by 32 and pass it back out. The tv revenue is more than enough for the salary cap. Some cities just can't compete revenue wise with other cities, just look at baseball.

How does all of this affect the 2006 NFL draft?
Signing draft choices will be more difficult this year, because teams can prorate signing bonuses over only four seasons. Already, agents figure the most a top draft choice can make under that scenario is $15 million, a major reduction from recent years. That likely will lead to long holdouts by draft choices.

Why do I have a gut feeling that AJ won't hold out. |
