The uncertainly of the league's labor situation has lessened the enthusiasm surrounding free agency, which is set to begin at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow, but if NFL owners and the players' union can agree on a new labor deal, this year's salary cap figure would rise by $22.5 million over last year's cap to $108 million.

visionary Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yeah, that's the 108 figure that I mentioned earlier. I think that's about the highest I've seen it mentioned as. Does anyone else know if that's accurate, or what? Or is that automatic due to the 59%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheREALJBird Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, with 108 million we could certainly acquire a few vital players.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
