SI.com: Are you saying that the NFL is not going to become like baseball, with tremendous difference in teams' ability to put competitive teams on the field?
KING: That's exactly what I'm saying. In baseball, the Yankees can spend $210 million on players, while a team in its own division, Tampa Bay, spends about $35 million. In the NFL, even if Daniel Snyder takes in $300 million over the course of the year and buys up five premier free agents every year, even the teams at the bottom of the financial totem pole -- e.g., Buffalo, Jacksonville -- will have $160 to $170 million of gross revenue to play with. Obviously, it won't be as egalitarian a system as the one the league has now. And it won't be as good a system, but we're not headed for any sort of football Armageddon. And don't let anyone tell you differently.

I don't have previous years to compare it too, although I don't think there is THAT big of a difference. Although this year it was noticable WITH a cap.

Expect a lot of cuts within the next 3 hours. Deal didn't go through; I was becoming convinced they'd work it out too.
P.S. BB73 and all other Bears fans. What'd you think of the Metcalf extension? It seemed like a fairly large amount of money given the circumstances that are going on, caught me off guard.

Great chance for the Browns to pick up some good free agents.

Dallas is $5,000,000 under the cap. They'll be nearly $15,000,000 under after restructuring Rivera's and Ferguson's contracts. |
