We can save about $15 million off our 2006 cap by restructuring a bunch of roster bonuses due to key players. By restructuring we can push a bunch of money to 2007 and subsequent years. Unfortunately the 30% rule would prevent us from doing so, and we'd lose all these potential savings.
So without a new CBA it's gonna be really hard for the Skins to keep their core intact, and make any new free agent signings basically impossible.
