Bostic Hog Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Lets not forget that the $110 million cap would be valid for every team. It really doesn't provide us with much advantage. The value of other free agents would certainly go up comparably. Lets see what happens. :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xtrmskn04 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 more cap $ means increase in ticket prices. you know who will pay the bill!! It will be us the average joe ticket holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeypeet Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 what do you think carlos rogers is worth around the leagle? Not as much as he is worth to the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz13 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 This is nothing like MLB. Remember if the cap goes up so do players salaries. You don't think that a FA would ask for the same amount of money with a 110m cap that he would with a 86m cap. It would be similar to the way it is now but with higher average salaries. It's good for the players that are already locked up in current contracts, but all new contracts will reflect the higher cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 This is great. Now the Eagles can brag that they're 75 mil under the cap every year. You know, before they cry themselves to sleep after staring at the empty trophy case. :laugh: :laugh: :rotflmao: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenster95 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 The Colts will have some money to spend with the new cap, but let's see them beat something creative like a five year, $27 million contract, all guaranteed with the some incentives to boot.

The first incentive being Joe Gibbs of course followed by Clinton Ports and Santana Moss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soljaofjesus Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 IF this happens.. I dont think we should break the bank on ne one.. we dont wanna mess up chemistry.. Why hire someone thats just as good as Santana or Springs persay and offer them more to come here because we can now.. wouldnt that be kinda upset n disrespectfull to our players? I say we lock up our key players for a long time and use the higher salary to put most of there signing bonus and stuff like that into next year... so we dont have to worry about being in cap hell and when we need to sign a key FA in future years.. we dont have to worry about so many restructuring because most of the signing bonus will have taken place on that extended cap year Lock up Sean Taylor Lock up Jon Jansen Lock up Randy Thomas Lock up Santana Lock up Ryan Clark Lock up Chris Cooley Lock up Washington Lock up everyonneeee!!

STaylorLayintheWOOD Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 oh man this offseason would have the potential to be GREAT if it ends up being 110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmw2301 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 110 Million would be great, if that happens I could really see us going after Reggie Wayne and maybe even another player like a OL or a DE. GO SKINS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 that would be great No, it wouldn't. You realize this means higher ticket prices and higher concession prices, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeypeet Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Lock up Sean Taylor Lock up Jon Jansen Lock up Randy Thomas Lock up Santana Lock up Ryan Clark Lock up Chris Cooley Lock up Washington Lock up everyonneeee!! WHOOOO! Redskins baby! Not a bad idea. However, I think some of those guys you list there have basically brand new deals. Specifically, Washington and S. Moss are only a year or two into brand new deals. Thomas is three years in so he could potentially be reworked.....although I believe he allready has a pretty damn good deal for a guard. More than anything I would guess that a larger cap number would allow the Skins the flexibility to keep guys with larger cap numbers that may be on the bubble such as Ramsey and Walt Harris.

[[ghost]] Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 this would be huge. no more of this "snyder can buy his team all he wants, he'll have to let everyone go by 2003... 2004...2005..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaSkin Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 No, it wouldn't. You realize this means higher ticket prices and higher concession prices, don't you? I don't think that follows. The cap is a percentage of league revenues. What the players and owners are currently arguing about is what the pool will be and what the percentage of the pool will go to players. Currently 'local' revenues, which includes concessions and luxury boxes, are not part of the pool. The new deal will probably change that. So raising ticket prices and concessions will raise the cap and the amount the owners will have to spend on salaries, and only moderately, if at all, help the bottom line. What is driving the cap up is the enormous TV deals the NFL is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only teams that might see large increases in ticket prices and concessions would be the smaller market teams that don't turn profits as high as the Skins do.

HOF44 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I wonder if more teams will just elect to spend less than the cap. I know there is a minumum they must spend. It will be interesting to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokie_Skinz Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Does anyone else think this is just necessary? I mean it's kind of like a "cost of living increase" if you get me. Players salaries are just naturally gonna get more and more expensive over time. So every 10 years or so (maybe more maybe less) the league just ups the cap. Or do you feel that it should just stay where it is, and players should learn to accept less. I feel it's necessary every few years, 10-12 range, to up it a little.

Historically it has gone up every year. Its tied to revenues. As long as they go up the cap will. The negotiations over the CBA are to increase the percentage of revenues the cap limit is derived from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
