Re: 2011 RULES: Salary Floors

There may be contract requirements (as we have some now) to prevent ridiculous types of contracts to get around the floors, such as any contract over 1M has certain requirements, etc. that would be realistic with what a real player would sign for.soonertf wrote:Salary floor will do litle for competitive balance. If a team wants free cap space for the following year, they will merely work around the system and sign a ridiculous one year contract. If you truly want competitive balance (and I do), then you have to hold GM's liable for losing seasons over a given time period. We've debated this numerous times, but in my opinion it's the only solution to preventing teams from tanking. The salary floor is merely a tool for real life players to get their complete piece of the pie.
But we won't worry about floors for this year, but if they become a bigger part of the NFL certainly a possibility down the road.
