BTW, the Saints and Raiders did so to a lesser extent because while they don’t have to surrender cap space they don't get to share in the extra cap space surrendered by the 'boys and 'skins the other 28 teams do.  I'm not going to lose any sleep over this but what I don't understand is:  ∙ The uncapped year was negotiated between the NFLPA and the NFL.  ∙ All the contracts submitted during the uncapped year to the league by the Redskins, Cowboys, Saints, Raiders and every other team were approved by the league before they were put in place.  If part of that agreement was the teams couldn't really treat it as an uncapped year, why were the contracts approved? If that was not part of the agreement, upon what authority did the league warn the teams while approving those contracts?  Like I said, I'm not losing any sleep over this and I appreciate any financial edge the small town Packers can get. But I think the penalized teams have a legit *****. </blockquote>
