Trust me, I've been dreading this cap-less scenario, but a lot of people are saying that this is going to happen. Some people have mention that use of the franchise tag as another sign that the CBA will not be renewed. And honestly, I don't have any confidence in the NFLPA right now, I mean how long does it take to find a replacement for the late Upshaw?
