I did realize something though, even though the league will be worse off without a salary cap and will resemble MLB going forward, all the NFC East teams are part of the Gang of 9. Our division should remain very strong and stay very competitive, because every team can afford to bid for free agents. I think as Redskins fans we'd still have a fair amount to look forward to if the salary cap ceases to exist. It would be a shame for the league, but the NFC East should return to the dominance seen in the 80s and 90s.

You don't think that if there was an uncapped season that the blockbuster deals that the Yankees strike to bring people like A-Rod to New York would also happen in the NFL? It would just get worse and worse until the average fan could no longer afford to go to a game.
It's expensive enough to make it to a football game and some of those salaries are no where near the level of professional baseball. I couldn't imagine the contracts. It might seem cool in the long-term and for the people who watch it on TV, but I try my hardest to make it to at least 3-4 Skins games a year and I don't want to spend 200 bucks a ticket to make it.
