quietjets Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I know i suck at business crap but is it possible that NFL will have other lockout if CBA does not meet the ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I know i suck at business crap but is it possible that NFL will have other lockout if CBA does not meet the ends? Probably in 2008. I don't think that it will get to that. Smarter minds will prevail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Isn't it true if no agreement was made that cap would be less than expected and could really kick the Jets in the a$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 There's too much money to be made by all sides fro there not to be a deal. I hope Upshaw, if he's gonna pick a few issues to fight for, gets more of contracts gauranteed, percentage-wise, rather than having these ludicrous Drew Rosenhaus press conferences where player x is breathlessly touted as having a $ 85 million , 7 year deal, which is a joke if you passed 3rd grade math. Also, the pension plan should vest much earlier for guys who's careers are mostly over after 3 years, and the medical plan for retired players should be greatly enhanced. Those would be good tradeoffs for a salary cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeniorFlaJet Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Isn't it true if no agreement was made that cap would be less than expected and could really kick the Jets in the a$$ The cap figure for this year is about 95mm. They estimated that if there is a CBA the figure would be about 105. I don't know how the Jets are going to make it without cutting or severely restructuring some good players.

I don't know how the Jets are going to make it without cutting or severely restructuring some good players. An extra 10 mil would do wonders for us. We'd basically be only about 1 mil over, and with Chad re-structuring (which I believe will happen), and several other restructures/cuts, we would be in good shape. If not, then the house cleaning continues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 So if this doesnt get done what will the Jets have to do here? Kendall, Mawae and Chad would all be gone? I just hope we wouldnt have to cut Coles or Barton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
