Smizzy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 NFL | Upshaw tells agents to be ready for an uncapped 2007 season Fri, 24 Feb 2006 08:19:59 -0800 ESPN.com's John Clayton reports NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw told a seminar of agents Friday morning, Feb. 24, to prepare for a 2006 season without a collective bargaining extension, setting up an uncapped year in 2007. "March 3 will be the beginning of a new league year and we are just not there yet," Upshaw said. "I'm taking the position now that it won't get done." Three major issues were cited by Upshaw as the reason for no collective bargaining agreement extension. 1) Neither side can agree on the percentage of total revenues that will go to the players. 2) The NFLPA won't agree to any type of CBA extension that doesn't have a new revenue sharing plan in the future. 3) Upshaw's third difference is the league's "G-3" program in which money is loaned to teams by the league to finance new stadium construction .

CluJet Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Things are going to get crazy without a salary cap. Watch out for teams like Washington and Oakland. Snyder and Davis will probably tear up the market. Let's just hope there's no strike after next year. The last thing we need is to miss out on Jets football.

What barring does this have on the draft in 2007 or 2008?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
