Players can hold out, that's their leverage. This has the potential of getting really, really ugly unless the owners and the union pound out a CBA extension.
btw, I have updated the 2009 cap page and uploaded the 2010 cap page for the first time. Let me know if something looks off, especially with the 2010 page since it's newest and most prone to error. |
Keith, NFL.com published a story that 7 of this year's franchised players will become RFAs and only get a 10% raise next season if it's uncapped. It included Dunta as one of those players. However, it was quoting the rule that those are the players with less than 6 years of service. Unfortunately, next season will be Dunta's 7th. So, my question is:
If 2010 is uncapped can teams still use a franchise tag. If they can, then the Texans could still threaten it next season and use it as incentive for a long term contract. However, if there is no 2010 cap, then Dunta can look at this season as earning a quick $10 million, increasing his market value with good play, and then have the opportunity as a UFA to make a ton of money in the first uncapped season in 18 years....
So, what's the story, Keith?
