I have to ask because I don't understand it's impact on the NFL. Supposedly with the collective bargaining agreement expiring, the NFL is set to have next year without a salary cap limit. First of all, does anyone know if this is true? Secondly, how does it affect teams for a 1 year period?

its true.. this is what we do know.

The top eight playoff finishers from the previous season would be allowed to sign free agents only at the rate at which they lose them.

• Players would need six NFL seasons to be eligible for free agency, rather than four.

Wow, weird rules. So if a player is eligible for free agency, they can sign for whatever the market wants to pay and the team has no cap for that year? I know a big FA signing wouldn't impact caps next year, but what about years after that? Man it's bizarre.

There wont be alot of movement next offseason, what your team looks like minus the draft now is pretty much what it will look like next season as well. Players to be eligible have to have played 6 years, plus the teams have an extra tag to use.

Also the playoff teams can't sign anyplayers till they officially lose a player.

There are also FA signing rules for Winning record teams, that limit them to 3 FA signings till they lose a FA.

Losing teams I believe have no cap on FA signings.

also Teams would be able to dump crazy contracts they don’t want without suffering the regular salary-cap ramifications(ex.vy or russell).wealthy owners would be forced to sign second class free agents to top deals.the talent pool would be already diluted.

It also means lost of underclassmen will be coming out the draft.

I heard a commentary on Sirius this morning which suggested the players want to get a deal before spring of 2010 as they really don't want an uncapped year. The owners see the deadline as being 2011 when the CBA expires and don't mind an uncapped year as much. Seems the poison pills may hurt the players more than the owners at this point. At least that is the speculation by one person in the know at this point.

Yea the poison pills are going to hurt the players a bunch, already are really. The haynesworth contract comes to mind. The skins betting on next year being uncapped and his deal only being a 4 year deal (last three years won't be seen, because of a poision pill in the contract), with most of the money due this year and next year.

Hmm. Maybe this is what Dan Snyder is up to?

thats the problem. it won't be one year. If it is uncapped and players sign either 1) enormous deals or 2) just get rediculous signing bonuses, the NFLPA will never agree to go back and limit the money given out. once the uncapped year is here, its here to stay. so one year won't make much difference, but it will change everything if no deal gets signed

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      By Navy_football · Posted

      No one. Why do you think that is? Because they love Bryce Young's media presence, or because they realize the TEAM is an absolute shiite show that very few QBs could have success in? Knowing what you know about Tepper, which do you think is the reason? Don't try to overthink it. It's the obvious answer. These receivers aren't good - yet. Did you watch last night's game? How do you think our receivers stack up to GB and WAS receivers? Hot take... Renfrow should have caught the pass he took a shot on. Sanders caught the exact same pass running the exact same route with the exact same hit later in the game. There was another pass down the sideline that Renfrow should have caught and got his feet inbounds. The pass that was thrown short was a bad throw by Bryce. He flat out missed that throw. No argument there - and a great play call/design by Canales. But a better receiver either catches the ball or draws a PI with the defender's back towards the ball. The defender never saw the ball. He 100% played the receiver. Bryce isn't exactly killing it, but his receivers aren't doing him any favors either. Their job is to make QBs right, not the other way around. Any Joe SHOULD be able to go out there and catch perfect passes in perfect calls where they're wide open. That doesn't make you an NFL wide receiver.

      Hunt and Lewis on the report two weeks in a row to start the season. You can guarantee they will miss time at some point

      You all over the map.   First you scoff at seam routes being hospital balls…despite the fact those are always routes QB have to be worried about throwing their WR into a hit.  now you are countering with the “you act like Renfrow is on IR” defense  and the “but how did he keep playing after that” defense lol it’s a hospital.  Simple.  You even got NFL QBs explaining it to you in real time with the all22 and telling exactly where Bryce need to put the ball and when.
