A Sea Of Red

According to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, there's a strong possibility that the NFL's 2011 season could be played without a salary cap.

From the Dallas Morning News:

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones believes there is a good chance ownership will opt out of the current labor agreement with the NFL Players Association by the November deadline.
[...]
Twenty-four of 32 votes would be needed to keep the collective bargaining agreement in place.
[...]
"It's a real challenge when you have nine clubs that can decide they want to opt out and it affects all 32 teams," said Jones.
[...]
If the owners opt out, the current structure will stay in place through 2010; 2011 would be an uncapped season. NFLPA president Gene Upshaw has said once there is an uncapped year, a salary cap would never return.
It's scary and exciting at the same time. I feel tingly, and yet, I want to hide.

On one hand, it could be disastrous for teams in smaller markets, like Green Bay, Jacksonville, San Diego, Buffalo, etc. When it gets to the point that teams can't compete because other teams are buying up all the free agents, that could throw a huge monkey wrench into the NFL's current domination of the sporting landscape.

won't happen. That would seriously be the end to the NFL's obvious dominance over other sports leagues. And we'd see the Cowboys or the Redskins in the Superbowl every year.

Who you kidding...the Redskins haven't had a cap since Snyder took over and they still SUCK.

Seriously - I don't see this happening. The NFL is smarter then to let this happen.

hahahahaha i hate the redskins!!!!!!!

Do you do anything at work? haha

I think the Bucs would be big spenders in a cap free league. The Glazers would toss money around like candy to get what they wanted.

no one cares
