Is it just free agency, or the deadline to get under the cap, or both? I can't take another 3 days of waiting (although I'd do it if the CBA gets extended).

Why would the league do this unless a deal still might get done? The teams were already prepared to cut certain people in the event the CBA didn't get extended.

both. I think you must be under the cap when free agency starts. We have a plan so we might as well cut everyone tonight when we find out it didn't get done.

Sounds like what they're doing is pushing back the start of the fiscal year another 3 days. If this is the case, then anything that was to have happened by the start of the new fiscal year will need to occur by the new date.

I doubt they're only pushing back one thing, because they're all tied together.

cut time is still tonight at 10pm.

cut time is still tonight at 10pm.

Where did you hear that? Because I read an article somewhere that the cut deadline would be Sunday night at 10pm.

Per ESPN, the salary cap deadline is pushed back 3 days:

No cuts tonight, 3 more days to negotiate a deal. I'm feeling a lot better about this, I think some poker is being played, and in the end things will get done.

cut time is still tonight at 10pm.
Are you sure?

I don't understand the point of it, if true.
