So the players a a group won big. When you become a UFA might change how you feel as an individual.
Depends really. Without this cap certainly, you wouldn’t want to be a UFA next year with a 70m cap. The cap is false until revenues return. Is that going to be one year, two years? three years? I don’t know. But you are right, future contracts are going to carry the debt of current contracts until they are paid in full.
