Wow, so what I get from this is that it's going to be a lot more Restricted Free Agents or players being flat out released/traded because of the increase of yrs needed to become a Unrestricted Free Agent. It goes from 4yrs to 6yrs now.
Edit - Also they're still a lot of restrictions in place for playoff teams. So I expect the league to still have some parity. That means unless the Cowboys continue to miss the playoffs Jerrua can not go bonkers and just sign whomever he wants. See below:
What is the Final Eight Plan?
During the uncapped year, the eight clubs that make the divisional playoffs in the previous season have additional restrictions that limit their ability to sign Unrestricted Free Agents from other clubs. In general, the four clubs participating in the Championship Games are limited in the number of free agents that they may sign; the limit is determined by the number of their own free agents signing with other clubs. For the four clubs that lose in the Divisional playoffs, in addition to having the ability to sign free agents based on the number of their own free agents signing with other clubs, they may also sign players based on specific financial parameters.
