Uncapped 2010

I don't have the best understanding of how the salary cap will work in 2010 but if it means that teams can just load up with no repercussion, that’s lame! Say goodbye to each year having new, fresh team’s breakout in the playoffs. No more nail biting playoffs just the same "Bills vs. Cowboys" matchup of the early to mid 90's. I really hate this idea and I think it will lead to more inflated egos by players and teams a la “The Yankees” buying their way to repeat appearances. I like seeing guys take pay cuts to play with each other because then it shows me they don’t just care about their paycheck rather they actually just want to win as a team. Just my two cents, what do you think? Can someone clarify how the uncapped year is supposed to work?

That is unless the Cards are the ones buying Championships:-)

Who would win in a fight, Whisenhunt or a Hurricane?
Hold on, hold on, what if the Hurricanes name was Whisenhunt?
Daaaaaaaaaa Cards, Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards Da Cards!!!

unless it just means what you said, teams can load up on whoever they want.

Here's a link

to azcentral’s Kent Somers did a story on what the rules would be on the Uncapped 2010.

If the 2010 is uncapped there will be no minimum or maximum a team can spend. Which means teams like the Cowboys, Redskins and Raiders are sure to go after every free agent will all the money the have. But teams that have shown to be more towards the minimum like the Cards ( this has changed the last few year) and Lions. If this does happen I expect there to be a lot less competitiveness between teams and the NFL will start to not be as exciting. Hopefully some sort of an CBA is reached by the time this can happen.

Also....

From what I understand the owners will never allow there to be an uncapped year which means that if there is no CBA by the 2010 season there will probably be a lockout.

Should say

there would be a lockout next offseason instead of saying 2010 season. As the uncapped year would go towards next offseason.

Bad

deal if this is going to happen as you think it. It takes away competition of building a team and then get ready for years of the same teams playing. Hopefully it doesn’t happen.

FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2009 file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill aims a pass downfield against the San Diego Chargers during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game in San Diego. Hill earned the starting job for the 2009 season by beating out Alex Smith, who missed last season after re-injuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. Head coach Mike Singletary largely chose Hill based on his play down the stretch last year: he went 5-3 over the final eight games and he also owns a 5-0 record at home in Candlestick Park.
