What ridiculous amount of our cap is Marvellous Mark Bulger taking up? I've heard he took in the region of $9mil last year and i assume that's gone up. Also any idea what Jackson is on? Think he signed a mega bucks deal last year?

I'm sure I read that Bulger is set to get $8.5 million next season so I wouldn't have thought it was that much as it goes up each season doesn't it? Marc will obviously have to either re-structure hs contract or he's gone, the latter being more likely.

Don't know what he is on this year but last year it is:

Bulger was $ 7,002,400 total salary. Base salary of $7 million with the $2,400 in bonus. Plus a $12 million signing bonus. His cap hit was $9 million.

Jackson was $ 12,000,000. $605k base salary no bonuses and a $11.395 signing bonus. Cap hit of $3 million.

2010 = no salary cap I believe. Dan Snyder will be wetting himself over this and he'll be getting that fat cheque book of his out if there are any decent players to be had for 2010. But it'll do no good.

It wont your right because most of the best players are under contract

He needs a quality QB, a couple of WRs, a backup TE and will probably replace Portis too IMO,

Apart from that their in great shape

Not necessarily. If a new CBA is signed, which I think it will be, then the cap will be in place for next year once again. We had all this talk of no salary cap about 3 years ago and it never came to anything.

Exactly. Plus they'd then be over the following year when the cap was/or likely would be reintroduced.

The likelihood of no new CBA is minimal. It'd only benefit two or three teams significantly. Washington, Dallas and the Raiders. The lesser teams wouldn't agree. The lesser players wouldn't agree either becuase they'd have no minimum contract.

They definately need a rookie pay scale though. Players like Crabtree only in it for the $$$ have proved nothing. Vernon Gholston is being paid a ridiculous amount by the Jets, and has made a total of 24 tackles in two years and isn't even active.

I'm convinced there will be a new CBA. Like Conroy said, only a few teams would not want a cap.

I'm loving the Manning hate, but I hate Eli much more than Peyton!
