Not good news? Or is it?

It seems no CBA by 10 PM tonight could potentially rip apart teams who have banked their future on an extension. Apparently the Pats are not in such a situation but teams that are serious Pats foes, like the Steelers and, especially the Colts, are.

So would it really be bad for the Pats to find the Colts and/or Steelers having to toss aside a few key players sometime tonight?

Obviously, it would be best to get a deal done, but maybe not until after teams like the Colts have to cut some key players.

I agree with you though seriously..No CBA agreement = NHL all over IMO.

Just makes me sick, they have a good thing , and they blow it... I cant be sympathetic with either party, but I hope Johnathan Kraft doesnt bet the franchise in a card game, since he say if he were a beating man it would get done. Well guess what its not done...

I've been reading this board for over a year, but finally decided to register. I'm not here to talk smack, just talk football. The Steelers aren't actually in that bad of shape. The $7M over the cap figure is including Jerome's salary, which is just over $5M. Once that is adjusted as well as releasing turnover Tommy, Willy Williams, and possibly Mike Logan we'll be a few million under. Our main hit this year is Jeff Hartings who has a $8M hit. They'll either release him and sign him for less or our new center will be Okobi or we'll draft one. I personally hope they can resign Jeff for a more cap-friendly deal and release Okobi (he's due to make $2M I think).

Anyway, not sure how much I'll post, but I enjoy reading what everyone has to say.
