K so heres how it all goes down.
The current CBA gives for a certain amount of revenue sharing between owners (not sure how much) but it is not enough for the small markets. What this means is that teams like the Patriots, Cowboys and other big market teams who generate a lot of local revenue are forced to share a percentage of those earnings with the other, lesser owners like Cardinals. The owners offered 56.2% of the sharing and the PA wants 60% and the two sides cant come too an agreement.
How this effects the cap? If a new deal is reached the cap for the 2006 season would be around $110 million. If it is not reached, it will be set at $94.5 million. This would give us very little room to spend dollars in free agency. What this also means is that in 2007 there will be no salary cap. Which means the NFL will be just like MLB where there are a few teams who have a shot each year oppose to the competitive banter of the NFL. So this is very important to the Dolphins, NFL, but most defintly the fans.
I hope that helps you out a little bit
