Thread: Vikings Have Big Bucks To Spend

Sweet! The teams with no cap space or in the minus should be cutting players to get where they need to be. Better for us. :wink:

Yeah, one of the guys interviewed described it as a lot of bloodshed will happen, meaning cuts if the CBA doesn't get worked out.

Rob Brzezinski is a CAP GOD!

So that would be better for us? Giving us an opportunity to sign a cap heavy player on a low salary cap team? :???:

Could we actually be LUCKY for once? Could it be that our cap situation has hit a good spot at EXACTLY THE RIGHT TIME?! This is unheard of in Viking football! I hope it works out like Peter King says it will, because it could be a HUGE advantage.

We've had great cap space in other years, this year being no different, except Wilf is the owner & not what's his name.

I Believe we had 25 mil last year.

Yeah ... our cap situation is very similar this season. Last year we had a little bit more on a lower cap ... so it was a larger percentage of space ... but it is still pretty similar this season ...

Imagine if we went out and got FA's like last year. We would be a defenite super bowl contender.

Let's try to pull another one of those cowart trades. That was sick. :smile:

It means more players will be let go by teams needing to free up cap space, which means a bigger pool of players for us to look at signing.

NFL | League moving closer to a labor deal?
Mon, 27 Feb 2006 09:29:18 -0800

Alex Marvez, of the Sun-Sentinel, reports the NFL appears on the verge of reaching agreement on a new labor pact with its players union. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Monday, Feb. 27, that progress has been made. An agreement reached this week would likely delay the start of the free-agent signing period, which is scheduled to begin Friday, March 3. Jones said negotiations between the league and the NFL Players Association could continue until Thursday, March 2.
