It was missed yesterday, but the league has announced that if there is an uncapped year, they are reducing revenue sharing by $100 million a year. This is big for the Pats because they are one of the teams that contributes quite a bit to that $100 million.
With it looking that in an uncapped year it is going to be much like baseball where there will be as many teams looking to cut payroll as spend freely (probably many more looking to cut payroll), the Pats may have a real advantage in free agency next year.
Granted this will most likely get to the better goal of forcing the NFLPA to make concessions on things like a rookie salary cap to avoid this. The NFLPA are really facing disaster if there is not a capped year with a lot of free agents getting crappy deals because there will be a lot of teams trying to dump salary.
