AussieTitanFan08 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 I know this is just a negotiation tactic but could you imagine the chaos if every team had their cap reduced by $40 million this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Seems like a tactic to get players to give in on the salary escrow fund. Very few teams would be willing to cut the salary cap this year. Why the hell can’t owners agree to just spread out losses over the life of the CBA and move on?

The revenue hit would be a big issue for some of the cash poor owners they would have massive cash flow issues if they had to pay players full freight this season and next, there is no way they are going to be willing to spread the full financial hit over 10 years, there needs to be some compromise between the two sides that deals with the lost revenue over a 4-5 year period. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the players are in a mood to compromise. They are the ones taking all the risks, not the owners.

Popular Post ctm Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 2021 is going to be a terrible year to be a free agent or even subject to the tag. This is probably why Henry signed so that he could get his 2020 and 2021 money guaranteed.

In addition, the more profitable teams that can afford to spend would have a significant competitive advantage over the cash strapped teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Righteous Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Players are going to have to take a cut. I mean they have a profit sharing split with the Owners. That also means they have a loss sharing split. Edited July 17, 2020 by Righteous Bluth, Supdawg, TennTitans23, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 As of now, according to spotrac, only 10 teams would be able to be under the cap for next season with a 40million cap cut. If you account for the rookie pool it's closer to 6 teams. The eagles would be fucked with being 100million over the cap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
