If I need to cut half my team, Tom Brady will be staying a Giant.

yeah most likely going to be alot of cheap FA's going this offseason

hey boys,
maybe I missed something but what am I missing...are there talks of $120 million being the salary cap, I havent heard anything along those lines. Bring me up top date.

That was the number everyone was reporting last week.

maybe it is the Canadian news I am subject to up here but I have yet to see anything spitting those kinda numbers($120M) around. I would love to see the source article.

Happy Independence Day to my nieghbors to the south by the way.

I've seen it all over ESPN's articles, and I'm in Canada too. Happy independance day on the 1st!

Thanks for the link Jared but correct me if I am wrong. I misunderstood earlier the comments as to being that there would be a salary cap of $120M. John Clayton refers in the article to a "payroll floor" being 100% of the cap, IF the cap is $120M teams would have to allocate a minimum amount to player salary. Currently we don''t have anything like this in the CFFL and I imagine it would be something requiring a vote I would think.

The following link gives the cap #'s over the years; 2010 was uncapped of course.

Clayton I think is just using the $120M as a reference # I think because the 2009 cap was $123M. Projecting the annual increase I would find it hard to believe the cap would be in the $120 range in 2011. I was looking for an article that I saw a couple months ago; couldnt locate; but it was estimating $141M. Of course with the CBA being negotiated who knows.

You'll have to google it and read more abot it. It's not just a number that he made up. It's the projected cap number. The Players were willing to take the lower cap number, as long as teams were forced to spend close to the top of the cap.
