They’re trying not to eliminate the salary cap, but that revolves around getting a CBA ratified, the last one never got the actual final approval. And one of the things they’re trying to get is rookie salaries pre-set by draft position like the NBA (probably the only thing the NBA does right). We’ll see how it goes.
Remember loser teams can trade down. That’s what the ones that turn it around tend to do, you take a high draft pick and turn it into 3 or 4 not so high picks.
You are totally correct on the salary cap ... I decided after I posted that I would dig up the official word on salary cap, and I found exactly what you said. I did not realize the last did not get approval.
And again .. Rush made his point .. all the sport “readers” here have no clue about anything, they are even bigger orons than the lamestream media.... here in SW Ohio they have given the false impression that salary cap is going away. They were to lazy to research it themselves. One should know better to listen to a journalist. (excuse me .. news/propaganda reader)
The teams that thit bottom and then bounce back to top tiers in a year or two do exactly what you say ... they trade down in the draft and bargain shop. The constant bottom cleaners go after that #1 pick year after year after year. The Bengals finally hit one in Carson Palmer (I still think he is suspect) but .. who can forget Akili Smith, Justin Smith, Peter Warrick on and on and on of high bungles pick that are pickin Burgers these days. lol
