Owners Approve Deal

I could care less "who started it" but everyone quit calling other people out. I really don't want to confer with the other mods and put you guys in the time out corner.

I've got the biggest schlong, so quit measuring the two of yours. ;)
Not true. Mine's so big, it has an elbow.

Don't make me bust out all caps on your ass.

;)

brud,you still have a cap gun:) if the cap is set around 104 million,anyone know how much money we are going to have on free agents?

I think we'll be fine as far as finding ways to manipulate the cap. Kinda sucks that the Redskins and Cowboys won't be the Yankees and Red Sox of the NFL respectively. Think about it, the Cowboys are considered America's team (I don't know about that anymore but lets say they still are for the sake of arguing). The Redskins would become the team everybody loves to hate (especially the networks). The Skins' would be buying all the players and the Cowboys would be right behind them in terms of the largest payroll. However the Cowboys fans along with everybody else would be complaining about how much the Redskins are spending on players. WE WOULD BE THE EVIL EMPIRE. Dan Synder would have become the true reincarnation of George Steinbrener.

However I'm still happy about the CBA. I guess mainly because Gibbs doesn't have a lot of time left and this is the best scenario towards winning now. With the CBA we can now go after Randle El, David Givens, a pass rushing threat, and a new starting Outside Linebacker, as well as use the draft to take the best available player. Plus no salary cap doesn't gurantee we can buy a Super Bowl.

Another thing I like about the CBA is that it prevents the Eagles from regaining control of the NFC East. I was actually pretty sure if the CBA wasn't reached the Eagles would have been improving (through FA's) while the other teams were taking a step backwards. With a CBA we can build on last year and hopefully dethrone the G-Men.

Anyway thats my rant.

How is this going to stop the Eagles? They are significantly under the cap, players tend to play for them for reduced contracts and they have already filled a big need by signing Barber?

How will Daniel Snyder celebrate? How about signing John Abraham, Randle El, Andre Dyson, and I guess Steve Hutchinson for good measure.

he will celebrate by jumping up and down like a 10 year old girl

meh more like players play for the patriots for a reduced contract. im not seeing the eagles being the force they once were. theyll be above average, but winning and super bowl chances are how you get players to stay for less

ex. redskins

so moderators can make duplicate threads...
Anyone can make a duplicate thread - it just shouldn't be done. And since the threads were created 70 seconds apart, I don't think the search function would have helped.

There are many things a moderator can do, but choose not to - even when the membership is asking for it. ;)

steveo youre doing a lot of bitching about peoples threads and posts recently ive noticed.

and when you say NOW I KNOW, remmeber that is half the battle.

I was saying that with no CBA the Eagles would have been the only team that could have acquired some quality free agents. At the same time the Redskins would be cutting people and taking a step backwards. With the CBA the Redskins can add even more talent than they had last year and prevent the Eagles from taking over the division. Yes this gives the Eagles even more room but the Redskins don't have as many holes to fill to take themselves to the next level.
