so the word so far after the season is the cap will be 92-95 mil
it was 82.5 mil in 2005

so lets go with a 92 mil cap
UNDER
cle  31
ari  30
min 24
gb  22  --> they can afford to have farve come back
sd  21 --> keep both qb's for 1 more year
sea 21 --> keep alexander they will tag hutchinson
sf  18 -->
jax 17
chi 17
cin 16
stl 16
bal 15
hou 14 --> car will count 8 mil against this
buf 10 --> m williams 11& moulds at 8 will get cut or restructure to make moreroom
no 10 --> brooks will free up 6
det 9
phi 7
nyg 3
dal 2
ne 0
ind 0

OVER
car .1
pit 4 --> bus retires frees up 5
mia 5
tb 8
atl 9.5
ten 10
was 20
kc 22 --> edwards didn't go to a much better situation
den 26
nyj 29 --> if they cut pennington it will cost them 10 more
oak 30

so will the 2 worst frbachises be able to attract any good free agents and some teams are some seriuos cap trouble

it should be interesting on who gets cut and who goes where
Dirty Sanchez's Date Tue Feb 14 12:18:04 p.m. PT 2006
the word is if they (NFL &NFLPA) are close to getting a deal done the free agent signing period will be pushed back to april so it it will be an extra month of rumours

Since nobody wants to respond to Troy's thread(i can hardly blame you guys, i am having a hard time staying awake myself) i thought i would hijack it. Can anybody tell me what they are hearing on who will go where? I am hearing Bree's to Miami, and possibly Owens to Denver and possibly Raveen to last place again  ;-) . But what are you guys hearing?
Cajun Critters Date Fri Feb 24 6:56:36 p.m. PT 2006
Ricky Williams will be the feature back in the new New Dehli franchise in NFL Europe. :lol:

Thanks for all the work Troy.  I did get a little from it. :-)

i love this time of year in the NFL.
i love to watch no how teams dig them selfs out of cap hell and what new coaches and gm's due to their new teams
The Manhas Leftover's Date Sat Feb 25 11:30:09 a.m. PT 2006
I don't want Brees on Miami. He's an upgrade over Frerotte, but he's still overrated.  I don't really care what else happens as long as Miami gets either  Antonio Cromartie or Manny Lawson in the 1st round, (hopefully Cromartie).
Cajun Critters Date Sat Feb 25 12:27:27 p.m. PT 2006
Say it, but Brees is the best of the crop of FA QBs.  I think he and Frerotte are a great fit in Miami right now.  Besides, who would you prefer, Aaron Brooks.  :lol::-D:lol::lol::lol:

> HERE IS THE 1ST WAVE OF CUTS
Commissioner Date Thu Mar 2 10:57:34 a.m. PT 2006
What is the primary issue?
The deadline to extend the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) expires at 12:01 a.m. Friday, March 3. This is merely the negotiating period to extend the CBA. The CBA itself does not expire until after the 2007 season.

Why is that deadline important?
Friday is the beginning of the new NFL fiscal year. Every team must be under the salary cap by 10 p.m. ET Thursday, a six-hour reprieve from the original 4 p.m. ET deadline for cap compliance.

Could the negotiating deadline be extended?
That was discussed but is now highly unlikely. A delay in starting the new fiscal year would have pushed back the start of free agency and, in the event an extension still couldn't be reached, made it easier for teams to come into compliance with the 2006 cap.

Without the extension, though, some teams will have to release some very significant players in order to clear cap room. The 2005 cap was $85.5 million, and teams were anticipating a 2006 cap of around $102 million with an extension to the CBA. However, the actual 2006 cap is going to be $94.5 million, which has some teams scrambling to comply.

What happens if a team doesn't comply with the salary cap?
No team has ever gone over the salary cap, so this is a bit of an unknown. Could Commissioner Paul Tagliabue penalize a team by taking away draft picks? Or could there be fines? With some teams in dire cap shape, we could find out sooner rather than later. The Washington Redskins are one team to watch in this regard, since some other clubs which have studied the Redskins' cap closely have suggested Washington cannot mathematically get into compliance.

Will any of this affect 2006 free agency?
Aside from the player pool growing rapidly as teams cut players to comply with the cap, the biggest change is that teams only will be able to prorate signing bonuses over four years, rather than seven, meaning players seeking large bonuses could be disappointed. And since base salaries can increase by a maximum of only 30 percent per year, the huge contracts we've seen recently (Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, for example) are likely a thing of the past. In short, it will be difficult, and in some cases impossible, to meet players' financial expectations.

Will any of this affect the 2006 season?
Only to the extent that some teams could look remarkably different heading into training camp than they did at the end of the 2005 season. But the current CBA actually has two more years to run (2006 and 2007), so if there is going to be a work stoppage at all, it's not likely to happen until 2008.

What happens if there is no extension to the current CBA?
Without an extension, the final season of the current CBA (2007) will be an uncapped season, meaning teams would have no limit on the amount of money they could spend on free agents.

Given the potential absence of a salary cap in 2007, some 2006 free agents might be unwilling to sign long-term contracts, figuring they could earn even more in the uncapped 2007. And NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw has said once the salary cap goes away, the players aren't going to accept its return. Also, while unlikely, the potential exists that the owners could lock the players out in 2008. That is one reason the NFLPA will consider decertifying.

How will free agency be different in 2007?
Currently, players hit restricted free agency after three years and unrestricted free agency after four years. Without an extension to the CBA, players won't be eligible for unrestricted free agency until after their sixth year. Players whose contracts end after third, fourth and fifth seasons will be considered restricted free agents and subject to qualifying offers from their current teams.

Does an uncapped season also mean there's no salary minimum?
Yes. Currently, there is a salary minimum, as well as a salary cap. Every team must allocate a certain minimum amount to player salaries. However, when the salary cap goes away, so does the salary floor. Teams could choose not to spend a dime if they didn't want to.

What happens to player benefits (401k plans, health coverage, etc.)?
In an uncapped 2007, owners no longer will be responsible for their annual payments of about $13 million apiece to 401k plans, health coverage, life insurance and other programs under the umbrella of benefits. The NFL matches each player's 401k investments 2-for-1.

How does all of this affect the 2006 NFL draft?
Signing draft choices will be more difficult this year, because teams can prorate signing bonuses over only four seasons. Already, agents figure the most a top draft choice can make under that scenario is $15 million, a major reduction from recent years. That likely will lead to long holdouts by draft choices.

What are the long-term ramifications for the league?
Barring a new CBA, the players either will be on strike or the owners will lock out the players in 2008. The union likely will decertify, and antitrust rules will apply. Also, the NFL draft will go away in 2008 as part of a clause inserted in the current CBA. Players coming out of college could be free agents, with no salary restrictions. Open negotiations, including those for rookies coming out of college, will leave it to the players to get what they can get.

What are the long-term ramifications for the players?
If the union does decertify, it will cause a lot of uncertainty for the players. Teams could change the benefits package players receive, and there would be no organization to protect players' interests. Teams could offer players salaries well below the currently established minimums.
