2.) The 90% cap floor rule could kill them. That rule says that teams will have to spend 90% of cap in real dollars. The problem is that they have already given big bonuses to Ferguson, Mangold, and Revis. They already have $20 million in dead accrued bonus money in 2012. That could easily balloon up to $30 million. If the cap doesn't grow like it has, they might have a problem getting to the 90% cash line with $30 million of dead money vs. say a $124 million cap.
Revis, Mangold and Brick all get big bonuses this year (18, 9.7, and 3.7). (I seriously think the Jets had cash flow problems in 2010 because of how many bonuses they pushed to 2011 and because of the large number of cost saving measures they took in a capless year, but I digress).
