It has a lot to do with players making less money, an average of close to a million a season per player will get cut off with the drop down. Team's average 30 million in profits on the books in 2008. (the highest revenue ever in NFL history.) Went down in the 2009 season by a lot.... Revenue was down quite a bit in 2009 for NFL teams compared to the 2008 season.

If you don't think the CBA squabble is about owners wanting players to make less and owners to make more.....Then I don't know what to tell you....

The owners are the one who opted out of the CBA for this uncapped year and the majority of teams are going to cut cap... That's the point of it all. Strong arm players into agreeing with the deal.

This is all about allowing teams that are in serious debt problems to get back on their feet. ( I mean the dolphins are 400 million in debt right now, and there not the only team that's losing money or having financial problems.) Couple of seasons ago there were 3 teams that lost money on the season, in 2008 that was down to 1, ( two teams with profits under 3 million dollars) 2009 is expected to be worse then 2007 and definitely 2008.

This CBA deal is about players making less money/.

If the salary cap could go down, it would actually go down in 2011...

2008 was the best year in NFL history, profit wise. (this is why the Cap was jumped in the off season) 2009 is expected to be one of the worse of the last few years...Lots of teams not selling all the tickets and a host of other problems....

Mean if it was possible the cap would have lowered in 2010 and then in 2011, but that isn't possible. so that number 45 percent of less then 6 billion = 62 percent of 6 billion doesn't make sense.

I think you are missing the boat on the CBA.

The players are employees, who want to be treated like part of the ownership group. The owner's are the ones who invested their own money....they are the ones that have all of the financial risk....they have all of the downside. The players want to demand a certain percent of all revenue. Name me one other company or industry (other than sports) that has anything like this.

Players making $10+ million is absurd.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but there have been rumblings that Kemo's surgery and rehab didn't go well at all, which might have more to do with this than money. I feel bad for the guy, because IMO, he was really starting to learn how to play NT at a pretty high level before he got hurt.

I think this is definitely about the surgery. There is no money savings to be had.

Don't pick up the $9.3M bonus and he is on his last year of his contract. Pay him approx $3M to play or pay him the same to not play.

This is all about the DT's we have and not wanting to use a roster spot.

Because they cut a player that probably can't play anymore? I haven't heard anything but bad things about Kemo's recovery.

no because we lack experience and depth as of right now and the foreseeable future. good dts dont grow on trees and we have limited draft picks. where are we going to restock at. like i mentioned before most of our line has no starting experience. and when they did it wasnt like they were probowl material before then either. you guys think we got pushed off the ball before with this line up currently we will be annihilated.

That's what people thought about our 2008 Offensive line.

    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....  
    • good for him...but bigger is realizing that we are starting to develop talent to the point that when our FA's hit the market, teams ACTUALLY want them.  hasnt been that way in a minute.
