More info on the last capped year and the potential of an uncapped year for those interested. In addition to noting some key rule changes to keep in mind, I found this angle I sorta alluded to in an earlier article:

It still appears that Kansas City chose to not rollover over $20M of Cap room into this year, perhaps figuring it would have “too much room.” It will be interesting to see if that rationale is tolerable to two groups of constituents that would like them to do whatever it takes to fix their ills: their fans and the Players’ Association.

The idea that some teams (mostly smaller market teams) spent so closely to the cap floor is evidence of a severe crack in the uniformity of the ownership. Worse still, I fear if something doesn't change with the new CBA, the NFL will lose some more of what makes it special in terms of trying to keep the field level between large market and small market teams.
