That last line is probably good news for Pats fans. Two teams who wanted the kind of handouts that Kraft was against giving were unhappy with the deal.

NFL | Owners approve new labor deal
Wed, 8 Mar 2006 17:41:25 -0800

ESPNews reports NFL owners have approved the NFLPA's offer for a new collective bargaining agreement. The extension will last six years and take the league through the 2012 season. It is unknown what the salary cap will be for the 2006 season, but it will be higher than the previously reported $94.5 million.

do teams still have until 11 to get under the new cap, whatever it is? Maybe that is mute because most of the team are within 10mil of the old $94 mil cap anyway.

Cap this year to be 104 per ESPN News

They just announced the new cap of about $104 million.

I guess they still do have until 11.

I will be the first to ask......If my math is right this puts the Pats 14 million under the cap before they cut anyone else. Does this mean they bump up the offer to Adam?
