Dolphins CAP/ CBA

[trainwreck]

Found this on PFT. I know Saban said that it would be hard for us to sign any free agents if the CBA wasn't signed before free agency.
Its not set in stone, but it sure is a positive sign.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed!

Here is the article...


NFL DELAYS OFFICIAL CROP REPORT



A league source tells us that the NFL previously promised to disseminate on Monday the official crop report (a/k/a salary cap numbers) for 2006, and that the league ultimately failed to do so.



This development has prompted increased speculation among league insiders that a new CBA is imminent, since an extension would require the team-by-team salary maximums to be re-calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in the new agreement.



We've previously heard that the new CBA will determine the cap numbers based on a percentage of "Total Football Revenue." Current thinking in some circles is that the number will be 59 percent, and that the salary cap will be between $100 million and $110 million per team for 2006.



Raw revenue numbers suggest an even higher number, but we're told that there are certain deductions that will be made before the 59 percent figure is applied.



Anyway, brace yourself for what looks to be an inevitable announcement that peace and harmony will continue in a sport premised upon anything but.

According to PFT, the NFL was supposed to release the figures of the 2006
salary cap, but they did not. PTF believes that it is because a new CBA is
immenent. If true, this is GREAT news for our team.

John Clayton was saying on ESPN that he thought it would be a done deal by wednesday night and that the revenue sharing would be 69%.

I hope this is soon ending and on to free agency. :D

I heard him say that there should be an answer by Wed. night, and he PERSONALLY thinks there should be an extension.
