OT: Revis meeting with Jets brass about extension

[Rob0729]

There's no cap, genius.

So when there is a cap next year and if the Jets spend like there is no cap and are $20 million over the 2011 cap (before you balk, it is just a hypothetical) can they tell the commissioner there is no cap because there is no cap in 2010 and they won't have to cut anyone?

There is no cap this year, but there will certainly be one in 2011 if there is football at all. No one has a clue what that 2011 cap will be, but most feel it won't be significantly bigger than the 2009 if it is bigger at all.

Yes, because Goodell is a Jets fan and the NY Jets are "too big to fail". The league doesn't want to see their big media franchise go down the tubes financially.

Please give evidence they won't be. The fact of the matter is no one knows because no one knows what the new CBA will have in it. One thing we do know is that the cap growth of the past three or four years prior to this year is likely a thing of the past. The growth of the cap will either slow or stop with a new CBA. What we don't know is how much it will slow.

They may not be in cap hell, per se, but they wont be able to retain the team they have, with a lot of expiring contacts that will need to be dealt with. Whether they have a good year or a bad one, they are setting up that when the cap returns in 2011, they will have to not bring back key players. IT doesnt mean they will be cutting players, it means they wont be able to sign their own or others teams FAs. They have, IIRC, too many players who's contract expires this year to be substantially over the cap, yet they will have no chance at retaining all of the key guys. Especially when they are extending contracts that have 3 years left on them.
