I was listening to Sirius NFL Radio yesterday and Ross Tucker and Scott Pioli were on instead of Shein and Gannon. Anyway, they were discussing the number of releases of quality players being cut saying there would be many more by the deadline. The flatness of the Cap and the backloading of contracts is making it hard for many players to keep their jobs. Pioli went on to say that the average team in the NFL at this moment is over 9M over the cap for 2014! He also said the cap was projected to remain flat next year.
It makes me wonder how QB salaries can continue to rise while the rest of the players are feeling the pinch. There may be some FA deals to be made. Players will be forced to take less to stay employeed and playing for good teams and coaches may play a bigger part in their decision process.
Does anyone understand how the cap is calculated and why it's flat? If it fails to grow, major change is going to come.
