If the reported rumor of him potentially being able to command 16-19 million dollars per yr is true how is it looking for us?

The only article I found so far that is the closest to anything on information is how the Lions would be interested but probably will bow out because this price will be too rich for their blood. And unfortunately in this article it doesn't mention anything about us and our situation. I'm dreaming here I know but if someone could provide some insight now with current implications in place I would sure love to know and be interested.

Here is what Pro Football Weekly is reporting about the Salary Cap on Thursday night.

Although hurdles remain, it appears the two sides made progress on several fronts in a whirlwind day of negotiations, including:

• The rookie wage scale. Mutliple media outlets have reported that the two sides are almost finished with the issue, with the owners apparently making a concession on the fifth-year option. It's not clear what the final details on rookie contracts will be.

• The salary cap. ESPN's John Clayton first reported that the cap will be set for 2011 at $120 million, which PFW confirmed with union sources. Some additional reports suggested that teams will have to spend perhaps as much as 95 percent of the $120 million figure as a salary-cap floor, which could lead to some serious cash being thrown around once free agency begins. The cap was at $123 million in 2009, the final year there was a cap. The 2010 season was a cap-less year.

• The revenue split. Various reports, including those confirmed by PFW, indicate that the total-revenue split will land somewhere under 48 percent. NFL Network's Albert Breer said it's expected to be between 47 and 48 percent. Previously, the players secured 51 percent of all revenue, with a $1 billion credit going to the owners first off the top.

Though it is not official yet, it is believed that a final agreement on a new CBA could be coming soon. ESPN's Chris Mortensen tweeted that the two sides will work late into the night and early on Friday to put the finishing touches on the new CBA.
