[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 842864"] I stumbled across something interesting in this link: [URL]https://www.nflpa.com/public-salary-cap-report[/URL] Note the league aggregate cap carryover from 2018 to 2019 as of this writing ($339 mil) vs. the current league aggregate cap space ($653 mil). That's a very sizeable difference of $314 mil, about $10 mil per team without a lot of cap spending left to do. You may see an in-season extention here or there. Then there are IR replacements as the season progresses that will eat into the current cap space, but it's not like the talent on the street is very expensive while PS promotions at minimum salaries are a typical way teams address the matter. At the end of the day, the league-wide cap carryover to 2020 is going to be considerably larger than from 2018 to 2019. What gives? Why is the league trimming back their horns? We know the union is already telling players to save their money in preparation for the CBA renegotiation. The current CBA expires after the 2020 season. That stands to reason. You don't want the membership caving to a less than optimal deal because too many of them need that Week 1 paycheck. Conversely, teams have considerable non-player expenses in the event of a walkout with no incoming revenue. A team still has to pay all the non-player salaries and benefits, their stadium lease payments, the interest on their loans, maintaining all of the facilities, and anything else I'm not thinking of at the moment. That ain't cheap. So the question is, "Are teams adding to their cash reserves in preparation for a potential walkout?" Could be. We'll see where it goes. Of course in the middle of a season after a promising start, an appropriate response might be, "who cares?" I get that. [/QUOTE]
