We're gonna be so f'ed.

Honestly, I'm not too worried. I know what the possible implications could be if it isn't signed, but I think they'll get it all figured out.

I just can't see, under any circumstances, us losing about 1/4 of our roster.

I'm not sweating it.
We have Gibbs and no one else does.

He'll win with 9 players on the field if needed.

Hail Skins

Those ESPN folks just love to keep us guessing. My dog has more inside information than some of those people and my couch has at times come up with equal or better NFL insider analysis. The league conference call isn't until 6pm eastern time from what I read so I figure the owners should have the chance to talk before we really need to freak out about this.

To Much Pressure Ahhhh!!!!

Anyone else thinking that an NBA style cap is starting to look real good?

(NBA Cap rules.
Teams can play with a payroll over the cap. However those teams with payrolls that exceed the salary cap will not be able to acquire free agents that cost more than the league minimum. Draft choices are set based on their spot in the draft and can be signed by teams with plus-cap payrolls. Players can be traded but only if the lower salary of the players being traded is at least 80% of the higher valued players)

not if it comes with gauranteed contracts.

Look at the cap figures and you'll probably think twice. I wish I shared your optimism.

The Washington Post is reporting the same. Bye, bye, Bowen, Harris, Noble, Wynn, Betts, Hall, Tupa, Thrash, etc.
