Cowboys, Redskins, Raiders Maybe?, Giants, Jets, are good bets, especially the skins considering how they spend now WITH a cap!

Washington and Dallas will easily turn into the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox of the NFL if there is no salary cap. It's for reasons like that why the cap was implemented, so lower revenue teams could stay competitive with the higher revenue ones.

Green Bay would probably be able to hold their own considering they're still easily in the top half of the league in overall revenue, but they'd still have to draft relatively well to compete with a lot of the big spenders out there.

What is the point in them removing the cap? WHY!?

Just a bargaining tactic by the Players union. Both sides know that if there was no cap certain teams couldn't keep up. By making threats, they can get those teams with more limited funds to pressure those that don't. Hoping they can push by a new CBA with as big a chunk for the players.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

From what I read earlier the owners want the CBA numbers to be lowered because some teams are not that strong financially. For this reason the owners want the players to accept a lowner CBA.The players have said they won't go along with that. So the owners feel they need to let the CBA expire and have a lock out until the players lower their demands.

Also, the TV networks are questioning if they want to pay the same money for their contracts as last time, much less increase it. This looks like it has the making of being brutal, especially if the players end up with a lawyer, trying to make a name for himself, leading them.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

No guarantees, but the CBA is over after this year, meaning next year is uncapped, and so will each year after that until a new CBA is reached. they may come to an agreement before next year, they may not. there could be a continuation of the cap, and there may never be another cap. it's all up in the air right now.
