Remember what happened the last time there was an "uncapped" year? The two teams that treated it as such had that cap space taken back the next year and lost draft picks if I remember right. So let's not assume the uncapped year gives us a free pass to pay anyone whatever we want. Do you think a new CBA is suddenly going to increase the cap by significantly more than 10 million per year as the current one does? I don't expect the owners to agree to giving the players a bigger piece of the pie without a significant offer from the players, such as 18 games. The start of new tv deals again (whenever that is) might do that again though.

Those teams were penalized for abusing the un capped year. It wasn't because they went $5 million over the previous year cap lol

But David is the best LT in football and will be paid like it, and Kenny Clark will also require a massive contract two years from now. What are the odds we can afford to keep both of them? With Rodgers resigned and the huge salaries we will be paying our shiny new pass rushers, I think the odds are slim. It's the slowest part of the off season now, let's discuss.
