    Today seems to be a pivotal day in the negotiations. We should be getting big news one way or the other.

    Profootballtalk.com is hearing that the new NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement will include language that protects veterans with big salaries from being sure salary cap casualties.
    The rumor going around is that there will be either no salary cap or a very high one, allowing teams to keep high-paid veterans they deem worthy of keeping. (Like Vikings FS Madieu Williams.) Veterans with obviously bad contracts like Bernard Berrian and probably Reggie Bush would still be released. It's shaping up as if the new CBA will be pretty player-friendly.

    No salary cap? That is bull. I think this report is a little screwy.

    No salary cap with a salary floor makes sense to me.

    I think it would be great.

    Let big market teams pay for the talent they want on the field. Force smaller market teams to put a somewhat competitive team on the field.

    Bring back dynasties in football, fuck parity. I want the Jets to be able to put the best team on the field money can buy year after year.

    I know this won't ever happen again but it would be fun for a short while.

    Here's the original report from PFT:

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...o-protect-veterans-from-being-cap-casualties/

    Didn't see any specifics about the size of the salary cap.

    That can only help so much unless its like a ridiculous tax. If smaller market teams get outbid for good players then they have to overspend on weaker quality players which'll just inflate salaries and the owners aren't gonna agree to that.

    You are probably right, I doubt there's any real bombshell like people are expecting from that report.

    The loss of the salary cap would be an absolute disaster. Just look at nearly every big market soccer league to see why.

    Look at the premiership - save for Blackburn's one win early on - in the 20 years it has been around only 3 clubs have ever won it.
