[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 141272, member: 431"] These numbers are going to create problems and those problems are going to get bigger as the numbers grow. The Woodson example is a good one. Harris immediately started complaining about his deal being outdated and, rightfully so, wanted more money. As these signings grow in dollar amounts so will the problem of dealing with players whose numbers are better than the player signed but are making half the money. While this has been the case in the past with FA it is hitting new levels that is GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS. Current FA contracts are creating an unfairness in the pay scale. This unfairness will rear it's ugly head. I think TT has done a fantastic job extending and resigning players but just watch what it takes to keep Barnett. This craziness in FA is going to make it extremely difficult to negotiate and hold onto core players which is a staple of all franchises. Hitting the FA gold mine is far too attractive and will cause rippling affects amongst the players to a much greater degree than seen in the past. Fan loyalty in the NFL is unbelievable but getting more difficult since FA began creating a "revolving door" syndrome that is going to become even more crazy with the availability of money under the cap. "Identifying" with a team creates loyalty and I just wonder what kind of hit this will take over the next 10 years and how new fans coming on board will stack up loyalty wise. [/QUOTE]
