No Draft in 2012?

However, by opting out of the agreement that was struck on March 9, 2006, the NFL would play 2010 without a salary cap, unrestricted free agency for players would be increased from four years to six years and the orderly selection of college players in the annual draft would not exist after 2011.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If they do that then the least they could do is send every single football fan a gun with one bullet in it.

Seriously, come on, this is ridiculous.

The owners need to pull their heads out of their asses and just give part of their ridiculous amounts of money to the players.

yeah, never going to happen. the NFL and NFLPA make too much money to not re-do this labor agreement

That's a use of guns I could endorse!

I don't claim to understand this issue that well but surely the cap currently allows poorer teams to compete. Poor season records and fan bases no doubt mean the margin on these clubs is a lot thinner. So just saying that giving the players more money (say doubling the current cap) because the owners are rolling in cash might not really be accurate.

There are no doubt teams that are very profitable but just how can the Jacksonville's of the league manage if suddenly the Cowboys and Giants could smoke all their UFAs.

Wow Jimmy. When you talk football and not affairs of another country I actually agree with you. I think we just found COMMON GROUND. I feel like doig a Hands-Across-America only extending it overseas.

Lol. Maybe we should just stick to football.

That's a shame. I was expecting a heated debate on the American economy when I clicked on this thread.

They were talking about this three years ago that 2008 would be an uncapped year. It'll be resolved.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

Agreed, I can't see this happening.

They better, or else I will take my bullet and shoot an owner.
