[QUOTE="UncleMeat, post: 242174, member: 1450"] The Packer fans should be worried, but not scared. The majority of NFL teams cannot compete in a capless world. There are definitely teams that could and would spend far beyond the current cap level to win, but a majority could not afford to keep up. While the Packers are probably a team that couldn't keep up, that's not the concern. Because of the financial disperaty between teams, there will never be an extended period without a cap. The owners simply wouldn't allow it and would lock out the players before going capless for several seasons or longer. The real worry for many teams (and the Packers should be in good shape on this issue) is that if you spend foolishly in anticipation of a capless year, what will happen to you when the cap returns? If we do indeed go without a cap next year, and assume that one returns in 2011, teams like the Redskins will be faced with massive cuts because they will be so far over the cap. That will result in lots of dead money and prevent them from competing for probably several years. [/QUOTE]
