both brady cannot cap current ensure falcon felt injury interests release salary

bottom cap change developed good happened job line players reason salary system
The bottom line in this system is you've got to do a good job in the draft, because those players are the inexpensive players that can be developed and you can retain. I think it's an oversimplification to say that the salary cap is the reason for all the change that has happened in the league.

This was one of those deals that went down until the last minute.
additional again creating game good playing puts regular season seed sell value week
It addresses the bye issue, but then again it puts the No. 8 seed playing the No. 1 seed in Week 1 of the playoffs.
