An uncapped year....

Also means there is no floor on what teams must spend. What if the Panthers don't re-up Peppers and just decide to pocket $20 million next year.

And what about notoriously cheap teams like Cincinnati?

This could be the most frugal off season in years as opposed to wild spending. Well, except in Big D and DC.

Add teams like Tampa, Buffalo and anyone else hurting in this economy. That is a big reason that the uncapped year won't be a big bonanza for players as they originally thought.

There are several teams that will likely trim payroll. I don't know if we will be one of them.

I think we can assume the Jags fall in the lower cap number bracket in 2010:

Jags cut ticket prices

Posted by Mike Florio on January 12, 2010 12:35 PM ET

In an effort to reduce the number of blackouts from nine, the Jacksonville Jaguars have cut ticket prices for 2010.

Per the Associated Press, two sections in the upper deck (the non-tarped sections, we assume) will have season tickets reduced by $90, which equates to $9 per game, assuming eight regular-season games and two preseason games.

Four sections in the lower bowl will have season tickets cut by $100, and two club sections (which don't count toward the blackout determination) will see a $300 drop.

Though it remains to be seen whether the price cuts result in greater ticket sales, basic concepts of economics like "supply" and "demand" make this change long overdue.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
