Yes it looks as though one of the things I hate the most about the MLB will become common place in the NFL. Parity will go down the drain. Although everyone speculates that an ucapped year means there will never be another cap, I am not so certain.

When small market teams like Buffalo, St Loius, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Tampa and maybe a few more of the poorly run teams begin to fold and close shop both players and owners may see their folly. Unlike baseball the football season is extremely short, this leaves alot less time to generate revenue. These teams will end up with bad coaches and bad players. The competition between a bad team and a good team in baseball is less noticable, but in football it will be glaring. People will not pay the high prices to watch that. At least baseball can be a very inexpensive experience to take the family to, football cannot and wont be able to compete.

After the thrid team shuts down and there in no interest in owenership outside of the largest markets it will come full circle. This is just how I see it.
