I like this, better late than never! Kudos to Snyder and the Skins.:biggthump

It’s the right thing to do just sucks it took this long to properly acknowledge them

Should've been done in 1988, but yes, it's the right thing to do.

Interesting article on the Eagles cap space.
How much cap space do Eagles have after trading for Michael Bennett? | NJ.com (http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2018/03/nfl_rumors_vinny_curry_released_or_traded_eagles_u pdated_cap.html)

I think Torrey Smith would be an interesting guy to sign if they end up releasing him.

If the Eagles are able to repeat, knowing the situation they are in with the cap, then I will never again worry about cap space ever again.

Why does a team like Philadelphia that does EVERYTHING RIGHT and builds a really talented team and win a super bowl, then a year or two later have to get rid talent because of the NFL Salary Cap. The NFL Salary Cap the way it is currently set up is ruining the game. There are not as many top teams as there used to be. The NFL Salary cap is a dynasty team killer. It prevents teams from building a dynasty team and being able to keep it together.
The solution is easy: There should be an exemption for resigning your own players. I get not being able to go over the cap to sign Free Agents. I am fine with that and I get it. But you should be allowed to exceed the cap IF you are signing your own players. If a team has exceeded the Cap to sign their own veterans, they should be prohibited from signing high priced Free Agents.
I am tired of the NFL protecting cheap owners or so called "small market teams".
Before Salary cap we had multiple dynasty type team that coexisted all at the same time.
1) Steelers
2) Redskins
2) 49ers
3) Cowboys
4) Giants
5) Bears

When those dynasty teams played against each other it was amazing to see.
We have a ton of shitty teams.

How would that system be structured?
A rookie pool, A "keep our own" pool, and a FA cap?

Or something like a transition tag where a team can match any offer, but then only have a certain amount count against the overall cap?

I doubt the players would go along with either of those concepts because they would claim that the league is prohibiting freedom of movement.

Just curious how you would see it worked out

without a cap the NFL would be baseball, and it would get nuts. At least now a days every team has equal playing fields.

That is exactly what it is meant to do,seems only the Patriots have figured it out.The NFL wants parity through out the league.
