I just dont see it being a huge deal. Over half the teams in the NFL are dealing with the same issues of balancing huge contracts and a flat cap. The Owners/League will not let stupid accounting rules ruin the game of football. They come up with some new way to move around money, write off the way it's carried, and stuff like that. Look at how they allow teams to carry over cap space year to year, it's all accounting gimmicks.
Not worried at all. At worst, at some point we will have to go through a year or 2 of rebuilding at some point, but its not like there will be a "Going Out of Business" sign on the Saints facility.
1st and formost... YES!! Absolutely, it matters and will effect the cap but as someone else pointed out, the salary cap will reset itself... For instance, the saints will cut Will Smith's $9million cap hit and the Falcons will sign him for $3.5 million to be their starter and the Falcons will cut John Abraham and the Saints will sign him for $4 million to be our starter (not liturally) but basically, teams will purge and the value of players will go down but as I read somewhere else, just like real life, the middle class will fade away, the top guys will still get over paid and force teams to go with younger, less expensive players...
This is why I wish there would have been an individule cap to what a player could make.. No one needs to make $22 million a year while the guys that block for him or catch his balls make $500,000...
