Or do like they did last year. Let the teams negotiate without any contracts being signed for a week. Teams are not going to be ready by the start of free agency.

I hope that teams at least get a short grace period in order to comply with the cap.

Sorry players you benefits you collectively bargained cost more. Means paycuts. Welcome to the real world. Stop trying to make them happy. Just go with the number that is available.

You were locked out for months. Then you settled. CAP ceilings should have been established then. Perhaps not for the length of the CBA, but at least for the 1st 2 years!! Then maybe work with the owners after the total TV revenues are know with that new deal for the 2014 league year. Come on MAN!!

Dozens of ways around it.

Besides, under the new CBA, it’s not until 2013 that teams will have to spend UP to a certain percentage of revenue figure. Won’t keep teams from doing the same things from going over, but you won’t have clubs like Cinci lowballing players and staying 40 million under the cap anymore.

There are lots of places unions need to be abolished. Pro sports is among them.

This is ridiculous!!! How can the league expect everyone to be under the cap by 3pm on Tuesday if they don’t even know what the cap is!?

A union is actually impacted by the cost of benefits. Too bad. Leave the number alone and let the teams plan accordingly. I’m sure the lawsuits by former players will impact the “pot” in the future as well.
