It's a shame Rams fans have to see Bruce wear another jersey.

I still hurt when i think about monk in an eagles uni.
the same goes for Seau, Rice, Emmit,Ty Law, and a few other players that Played for alot of years with one team and get cut for finacial reasons.

Isn't it in the best interest of the organization, the Player and the fans to keep the guys around with the team they are recognized with?
why isnt there a salary cap exeption for players with lets say 7 years with one team. doesnt have to be a total exemption, but you could have like a 30% percent pay increase limit or something like that.

all of these backloaded contracts make it impossible for a player to finish out his contract.

Is there anything you would like to see added to the CBA?
