I'm sure I read that Bulger is set to get $8.5 million next season so I wouldn't have thought it was that much as it goes up each season doesn't it? Marc will obviously have to either re-structure hs contract or he's gone, the latter being more likely.

Don't know what he is on this year but last year it is:

Bulger was $ 7,002,400 total salary. Base salary of $7 million with the $2,400 in bonus. Plus a $12 million signing bonus. His cap hit was $9 million.

Jackson was $ 12,000,000. $605k base salary no bonuses and a $11.395 signing bonus. Cap hit of $3 million.

What about her shes o.k looking but doesnt know a thing about sports by the sounds of it never mind the NFL

It wont your right because most of the best players are under contract

He needs a quality QB, a couple of WRs, a backup TE and will probably replace Portis too IMO,

Apart from that their in great shape

Exactly. Plus they'd then be over the following year when the cap was/or likely would be reintroduced.

The likelihood of no new CBA is minimal. It'd only benefit two or three teams significantly. Washington, Dallas and the Raiders. The lesser teams wouldn't agree. The lesser players wouldn't agree either becuase they'd have no minimum contract.

They definately need a rookie pay scale though. Players like Crabtree only in it for the $$$ have proved nothing. Vernon Gholston is being paid a ridiculous amount by the Jets, and has made a total of 24 tackles in two years and isn't even active.

I'm convinced there will be a new CBA. Like Conroy said, only a few teams would not want a cap.

I'm loving the Manning hate, but I hate Eli much more than Peyton!

Manning hate in NYC ? Elisha ( his full name - female ! ) will never be 2% of what Peyton is.

and yet hes higher paid what a joke the NFL can be at times

Matthew Stafford signed a rookie contract that was more or less the same as the last one Tom Brady got too !!!

I think they definately should bring in a rookie salary cap ASAP

I agree but it'd be extremely difficult.

What do you make it? Number 1 pick gets X amount? Player 2 to 5 get X? etc

What about difference in position. QB's would/should be worth more than another position even if taken in the same spot.

I dont have a clue to be honest like you say its difficult to work out, I think I will leave it to the so called experts in the NFL

Maybe a rookie cap should be introduced as a maximum amount with the ability to earn on top when hitting targets. So Stafford would say trigger a payment for reaching 3000 yard and 10 TD's etc?

Chuffing Michael Turner looks as though he is going to play which balls up my backfield as i had settled on Snelling for this week. Toss up between Forsett and Jones now
