With this whole CBA thing in limbo, we keep hearing about the haves and have nots in the league and small market clubs who don't want to foot more of the "labor bill" if you will, when it comes to this new agreement and while it might be clear cut on some clubs in regards to them being a "have", it's not with others. How is it defined? Is it a combination of being in a big TV market plus having an owner who really opens the checkbook? Does it have to be both or is a big market alone enough to help generate that additional revenue that smaller ones don't make?

Again, some seem easy as they're got the big city team and owner: Dallas, Washington, Philadelphia, New England and some are definately considered have-not like Buffalo, Cincinnati, Indy. But I'd really be interested to see some lists of all 32 clubs and who fits onto which list? Do you think it's an even 16 clubs per list? Where is Miami? I'd say being located in S. Florida and having Wayne as an owner who opens the check book puts us somewhere in that top 5-10 of "haves". Agreed? Certainly our very large coaching staff has shown that Wayne is willing to pay to give Nick everything at his disposal that he needs to build and coach this team to greatness.

Replies appreciated!

Dallas, Washington, New England, those are three that i can think of right off the top of my head. Jerry Jones has more money than anybody else in my opinion and since he stands to lose the most money he isn't favor of having to share a large amount of revenue with the lesser teams and the players of the NFL.
 
Being from Cleveland I know Randy Lerner has a big pocket book and wouldn't think twice about spending big money on the Browns.
 
We dont generate much in terms of revenue like the big clubs, but Ralph Wilson is middle of the pack in terms of spending for players, which shows he is commited to making the team better, even if it hurts his $750-800 million bank account.

He wont put solid money on the table for a head coach, but tell him this guy will help us win, and he hands over a blank check.

All he would have to do is raise ticket prices and sell the naming rights to the stadium to compete with the big boys. I think Bills fans would still fill the stadium if we are competitive.
 
Buffalo will be fine. They always sell out a pretty big stadium. It probably won't be known as Ralph Wilson Stadium next year, though.
