Very interesting article... In my opinion the CBA needs to step off thier high-horse and settle this matter. This FA period could turn into a frenzy of one year contracts due to hopes for an uncapped 2007 season. What does everybody think about an uncapped 2007 season?

So they could push back the FA until April?

We had a strike before that screwed us. I don't like seeing us head down the same road again, just when this team is coming together.

Do you see it going that far? I haven't read anything about a strike? How would that happen?

 

[NewEra8]

Yeah, it would suck to have the FA period pushed back. It's hard enough when the best dolphins news you can get is McIntosh pulling a McMike and hearing about what Saban didn't say....

If they do leave 2007 uncapped, it also screws us in FA signing... cause all bonuses will affect this years cap, not next...

Won't it screw all the teams the same way? With Mueller and Saban we'll still come out ahead.

It would be a HUGE MISTAKE if the NFL chooses to drop the cap in 2007. Just look at what it's done to major league baseball. There are only a handful of teams that stand out every year in baseball, and there's no real sense of competition because of it. No salary cap would ruin football as we know it...

Having a salary cap is key to keeping the NFL as competitive as possible, and that why it's the greatest sport on the planet. Can you imagine how boring it would be knowing that only the richest of owners in the NFL would be the ones who benefit??....

Whoever came up with the initial idea of dropping the salary cap from football, is one very lost individual in my opinion. I hope the owners, and whoever passes final judement on this ruling, thinks about the consequenses of such a drastic / risky decision....

PHINZ RULE!!!

You're right. But, I feel immensely better knowing that our owner is one of the wealthiest owners in the NFL. So, we'd be OK.

 

[NewEra8]

NOW... just throwing this out there... just an idea... What if, the idea of raising the cap a considerable amount (40 to 50+Mil)... would you be open to that idea?

The No salary cap would only happen for the 2007 if the issues aren't figured out! So it wouldn't be at all like baseball ( which is always without a cap). I doubt you would see many teams go to far over cap since the following year they would need to fix it. Also from what I was reading, not alot of players would be eligible to take advantage of it! I'll try and find the article i read on nfl.com sometime ago!

 

[FinFaninMS]

Good thing that on this site, at least, most Fins fans aren't short-sighted morons who would favor eliminating the salary cap and turning the NFL into a laughing stock like baseball.

Well said. And it shouldn't be about whose owner is willing to pay more, its all about keeping the game as pure as they can. I barely follow MLB anymore (after growing up with it as a kid, literally) and would hate to see the NFL force me into the same direction
