I don't know the numbers side of things, but if the Pack has a good draw for filling the stadium and sells a lot of merchandise, if we go to a no-salary-cap season, do we keep our earnings or do we still send some percentage back to the league? I'd like to think that a no-cap season, combined with teams funding themselves that the Pack would become one of the dominating teams.

I don't know if these two issues are combined, though, salary cap, and the profitable teams carrying the non-profitable teams (via the NFL tax).

Your thoughts?

If we go no cap then only teams that spend will benefit, (obviously). the Pack wil be in a position if the NFL tax is eliminated. I don't foresee our leadership spending big bucks though. I would bet that Dallas and Washington would become the big spenders. I think that mostly depends upon ownership style.

I think if we are talking about short term health.. the Packers will do fine in the uncapped environment that is being discussed.

Where I worry is the long term with salaries escalating past the revenue scale that can effectively house the Packers in Wisconsin without drastic change in the demographics of whom can afford to go to the games or hold season tickets.

I think the NFL is treading into mistake filled waters if either the Player Union or the Owners think it is a wise idea to forgo the idea of revenue sharing and or caps on the rosters... we don't need another baseball.

I would much prefer to stay with a capped system . We don't need some version of the Yankees attempting to buy a penant every year.

Even though the Yankees attempts to but the Pennant every year often fail?
Just because I spend oodles of money does not give a team nothing.
Jerry Jones Dan Snyder and the like will spend nearly all revinues just to get to the dance at first but as each teams fails and gets into finacial straights we will see a cap come back.
I am therefor I think.

What's a financial straight? Is that like the opposite of gay-for-pay?

I swear this site has more grammar and spelling nazis than needed. Lol
Ne who
Financial trouble is that a better term non hehe
Also overspending for a player that most likely will never be able to fufill the contract is a very strong possibility in the NFL
Unlike baseball where career ending injuries a less common.
I am therefor I think.

We'd be fine. Aren't we kind of in the middle when it comes to revenue? Plus, we can always sell more stock.

Football != baseball. You can try to buy a Championship but that doesn't work. Team beats individual players. Heck, let's look at the teams in the past 10 years who had the most Pro Bowlers that season and see how many times they were the same team that won the Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (41m) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

Zero2Cool (18h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
