Good/Bad News for a Change - 2013 18MM cap penalty probably (not) going away

Look, you don't like it? think we the few who want to talk about it are beating a dead horse? Then do us a solid and don't come in the thread. Some of us still like to talk about this topic. Some of us still like to vent. If you don't.... don't look.

This is a free country, if you don't like whats on the radio guess what... YOU have the availability to change the channel. If you don't like whats on tv, guess what.... YOU have the availability to change the channel. I'm so tired of others who are offended or don't like the topic being able to dictate what the rest of society should get to listen to or watch or talk about.

PS: have a nice day.

Then again.. If you should be allowed to rant about "this topic", you'd think that Ruhskins would be allowed to post a picture of a dead horse. You also would have the ability to skip over his post...

Just sayin..

Saw this on another site. Would be nice if true.

Per TK via twitter-
@TKextremeskins: 60% chance Skins get some Salary Cap money back at the upcoming Owners meeting

‏@HTTR24_7- (appears to be even more optimistic)
60.1% RT @TKextremeskins: 60% chance Skins get some Salary Cap money back at the upcoming Owners meeting.

HTTR24_7 gives this some validity. Def has my attention now.

I agree. Still, 60% is close to 50/50, so i wont get my hopes up... but its alot better than 0% which is where I thought we were.

Honestly, the penalty was very severe. The NFL made its point with the penalty last year. Why not throw us a frikkin bone in the spirit of maintaining unity and cooperation?

the players union should get behind it to remove as much as possible. Shit they know we gonna spend that money

The NFLPA doesnt really care much tbh. Since the cap went down a decent amount due to the CBA, one thing the NFLPA did get right is in the first two years of the current CBA, the NFL reimburses the players any money spent under a salary floor. It is not an individual team floor that we normally see but a floor league wide. I could be wrong, but I believe that number is in the high 90% in terms of percentage of the salary cap that the owners are responsible for reimbursing to the NFLPA if they spend lower than that.

Basically the players get paid regardless of whether the owners go real cheap when there is no individual team cap floor (which I think starts in season 3 of the current CBA).

Editing to add: Now that I think about it, they pulled extra money from when the future TV contracts go into effect to make up for the lost cap space due to the CBA. I doubt the NFL is going to agree to extend that clause about total money to the money pulled forward. With the extra cap space created by that, that may make that clause somewhat obsolete due to enough being already paid to go over that clause amount. So any extra... 5 or 10 mil or whatever... spent by the skins will be over and above that clause. Meaning it adds to what the players make this year. Then the NFLPA would be on board im sure.
