cap or no cap

by patriotguy on Jun 21, 2009 5:17 PM EDT

As many people know, there is much speculation about an uncapped season. I don't have numbers or anything that could give you guys an idea of how the nfl's cap has recently been for the last 5 years but i would like to give an opinion.

I don't want to have one. Football is too interesting with cap.

With cap there is strategy, it keeps the good teams from getting too overpowered and helps bad teams compete.

If at all possible, keep the cap system.

If anyone can copy and paste the average football cap in the last 10 years, that would be a great, and could also help me understand the cap system better.

Anyways please give opinions and/or statistics about the cap situation and how it can affect the future.

Q. and thanks

Okay our cap is going up an average 6.7mil./year. What year is everyone predicting that the cap would be over. And when that time comes, instead of getting rid of it, why don’t we start back at 0, or a set number to limit spending?

I don’t understand cap very well, so i hope this is not a stupid or confusing question.
