Salary cap and CBA

[waldoputty]

the FO is using long term cap planning to justify their signings and lack of signings.

yes, dak, zeke, bjones, dlaw, jaylon and others will take a lot of cap space, even accounting for contracts that are back loaded using bonus to manipulate the cap.

that is all true, and only an indepth analysis of the cap will show how much they can spend etc.

however, anyone with any cap knowledge knows that they can EASILY push the major cap impact to after the 2020 season with restructures.

why is that important, that is because the CBA expires after the end of the 2020 season.

so the question is does anyone in the NFL think the cap structure is going to stay that way.

or do they KNOW that the union is itching for a fight.

or in another words, the 'keeping our own players' is a lame excuse because the union will not stand for another CBA like the last one.

the jones should be well aware of where things are going so they should adjust their cap structure accordingly.

Jerry is in the Bahamas. Another guy posted that his boat is in Nassau.

The player's percent of revenue is not going to change much if at all.

Many details will change like drug testing and maybe the Franchise Tag rules; however, the owners absolute top priority is keeping their same share of the revenue. The players only chance for more is to play an 18 game season.

We saw with the last CBA that the NFL will not allow teams to treat the CBA year as an uncapped year even if it is technically uncapped for a period of time.

Teams are businesses that will be prepared for a holdout by players.

Players are individuals and many will not be prepared for a long holdout.

I guess im the only person that knows zek still has 2 years left on his contract.

Long term cap planning? What fools? Lol

Don’t they know they can ruin their future by listening to short sighted fans like you?

zeke has been talking about an extension

if there is a holdout, the players are not paid so cap calculations go out the door.
the question is if the players will accept a similar cba.
the league can punish teams, but i doubt the negotiation will go like the last one.

i think stephen is the issue here.

I sure he has. We all want a contract extension. But think he's going to have wait till next year.

They did the same thing last year. First week of FA they were on a family vacation. You can tell how seriously they take the job. Imagine another GM being on vacation first week of FA.

 

[unionjack8]

We can sign whoever we want.
I read it here...

Don't forget Dallas gets penalized in uncapped years...

Geez if I was Jerry Jones I wouldn't be in Nassau. That place is rough. Maybe is over trolling at Paradise Island. I highly doubt there is anything Jerry is interested in Nassau.

No, the league will not allow teams to ignore the "cap calculations". The Cowboys and Skins tried that and got huge penalties during the last lock-out.

 

[Mobinvans]

Do you get a trophy for winning cap?

 

[tm1119]

It really doesn’t take an in-depth look into the cap to figure it out. We have very little on the books for 2020...$125M in projected cap space. We couldn’t use all of that cap space on our own players even if we let Jerry negotiate after a Johnny Walker bender.

 

[Whirlwin]

I would love to see free agency come after the draft. Collective bargaining agreement wouldn't stand for it

Johnnie Walker Blue to be precise LOL

He's shopping for servants
