Carolina in the upper part, but also Carolina had the HIGHEST Salary Cap last year.

The table below illustrates 2008 Salary Cap Efficiency, which essentially compares a club's 2008 cap accounting to their success on the field. As we all know, the team that spends the most money on players isn't always the team with the most wins; to that point, the Seahawks had the fifth highest 2008 Team Salary with $122 million but could only muster four wins. Conversely, the Giants had the fourth lowest Team Salary at a little under $105 million, yet had 12 wins.

Wow I didn't realize that the cap had gone up from 85 to 128 in a mere 4 years.

I a sure that helped more than one team (SF and Tenn I am thinking) get out of cap hell.

I do agree with some respondents that it should include playoff games because what's the use of doing well with the cap if you don't have those?

The Patriots defiantly. They just have the best FO in sports IMO. And whats amazing is how many guys do they replace every year and still are one of the best teams in the League. Lose your starting QB no prob we got this guy who hasn't started a game since HS plug him in. I would probably trade 2 1st and 2nds just fo Belichick, the guy is one of the best coaches in history period.

Huh! It wouldn't surprise me at all if he wasn't in the HOF next year, (since coaches don't have to wait 5 years like players). He's the best coach out there. Yeah, he stole some signs, do you really think he's the only one who's done that? I don't like him at all but there's no doubt he's HOF...

Just wanted to echo this.

There was a significant ephasis on how little other teams cared about them being caught. All teams knew this kind of thing went on and it's crazy to think that he was the only one doing it. I reckon they were just the ones who were caught and although other teams were suspected, thye made them the example of what punishment other teams would face if they did not cut it out.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
