According to this report, no teams have carried forward unused cap space (remember the
Philly Loophole?) into the 2010 season. Just another sign of stalled CBA talks and a definite sign to expect an uncapped year for 2010.
Quote:
In an amazingly backward state of affairs, the NFL appears to embracing life without a salary cap, a cap it fought so hard to have and maintain. And the union appears to be hoping against hope for life with a cap, something every union has fought hard to keep out (with only the baseball union succeeding).
The reason for both stances is that without a salary cap there is no salary floor, which is presently at $108M. Without a salary floor, teams can spend as little as they want, meaning there may be teams spending as little as perhaps $75-$80M on players, even less.
