Actually, with the new CBA, there will be a slight change to signing bonuses that may affect the Skins. Instead of being prorated over seven years, bonuses will only be prorated over 4 years (I think - either that or five). This hurts teams with cash (i.e. the Skins) because it makes it more difficult to restructure out of end-of-contract salaries and causing those big bonuses to have a bigger effect each year.

Well at least the cap will keep going up due to the massive tv contracts.

2006-2011*CBS ($622.5 million/yr)FOX ($712.5 million/yr)ESPN ($1.1 billion/yr)NBC ($650 million/yr)$3.1 billion/yr

as you can see that Sunday night football game on NBC is bringing in an extra $650 in revenue so that in turn helps push the cap up.

Damn that sounds awfully anti-Snyderish by the league and players. Bill B 12-21-2006, 02:07 PM Actually, with the new CBA, there will be a slight change to signing bonuses that may affect the Skins.
