Bronco Billy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I think it's around $116 million. That's correct. Link The cap has jumped $14M in the past 2 years. No wonder why owners want to go back to the bargaining table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballjoe Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I didn't ask the question correctly. I was looking to find out how much cap space each team has available. I heard the Redskins may be in the hole 21 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 With all the cap tricks and restructuring going on, it's kinda hard to tell exactly how much cap room every team has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Heard of a possible strike by the owners? The Players Union would strike if the owners bailed on the initial agreement. My question to this is why would the owners be so short sighted and agree to this just two years ago, but that is an entirely different thread all together.

loyalboyd Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) If they changed the cap from 14 million extra to less than that it would be worse off for the Red Skins. Can they field a team seriously with -20 mill in cap space? It seems like they will have to waive a large portion of their team. Well at least we know why Gibbs really left then.

Chief Dick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 There are not enough players to eat up that much cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 My question to this is why would the owners be so short sighted and agree to this just two years ago, but that is an entirely different thread all together. The cap is jumping up way too quickly. The cap was $85.5M in 2005. Now just 3 years later, it's already jumped up $30.5M. That's a 36% increase in just 3 years. That's also almost a $1 BILLION cumulative difference in payment to players (and loss of income to owners) across the league. The NFL owners won't allow salaries to spiral out of control like this. I would expect there to be a significant management/labor issue after the coming season - and it wouldn't suprise me in the least to see either a lockout or a strike depending upon which party decides to draw the line in the sand. The NFL owners have been extremely careful in managing the league, which is part of the reason it has been so wildly successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
