. Back in the days of the Phins,Falcons, Bucs and Seahawks, the expansion players they got were guys that barely made the club!Nowadays,they are getting PRO-BOWL IMPACT players and they are vying for the Super Bowl in one or two years! I just don't think it's fair!:yell: [/B][/QUOTE]
I agree, it's not fair, but understandable considering the money you have to pay for a team, coaches etc etc... The NFL will insure the success of any expansion team. They will make sure the "new" teams stadium is filled and generating money. The NFL is all about money and image, which go hand in hand if balanced properly.
In the long run the team spending caps have continued to play into the hands of the owners. Obviously, if a very wealthy individual or group decides to start/buy a team he/they intend to make money, and most likely, alot of it.
Now we have teams trying to dump players due to their cap hit, not necessarly their playing ability. But this is the game the players union has agreed upon.
