[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 49995, member: 195"] As of yet, nobody has answered the original question. I'm not the best person to explain this, but I will try my best: If a new CBA is negotiated, it will cover several more years and WILL CONTAIN AN INCREASE IN THE 2006 SALARY CAP. This will allow teams that are over the cap right now to slide by without having to cut a bunch of players. But if there is no new CBA, the 2006 salary cap remains the same, in which case many teams will need to make massive cuts. The reason this could happen is that teams often determine their salary structure under the assumption that there will be an increase in the cap in the near future. Usually they are right. But in this case, they may be wrong. This could be a good thing for the Packers in the short run, because they are already $20 million under the cap and they could pick up some of these players that have been cut by other teams. But in the long run, this could be a very bad thing for the Packers, as the lack of a salary cap will favor the big market teams. I hope that at least partially answers your question, Matt. [/QUOTE]
