Title: NFL Question on Next Season and Accounting/What kind of loans billionaires get? Post by: Aske on September 09, 2009, 07:12:27 AM etc
So assume next season is uncapped year Let's say you're the Steelers, a team with a core of great talent, but a pretty small revenue base, etc As far as I understand it, there's no provisions (could be wrong) in this uncapped year about restructuring deals to front load them in. So if Ben is owed 6 years/80M or so left, dump most of that into the uncapped year. Repeat for the 12-15 guys you think are critical and want on your team for the next 5 years, no matter what (by paying them frontload you're essentially saying you will never release/waive them) Assuming this is legal per NFL rules, etc.... If the owner doesn't have that kind of ?200-300M? sitting around, what teams/owners do you think would get loans and where from? Such a practice would leave the future capped years with so much working room it's not funny. The 3-5 teams that could pull this off first would be able to be elite for another decade, easily.

Not sure about the what can/can't be done now with league rules and all but assuming it could happen...... the part of your post I quoted is why I think it won't work as the 27-29 other owners would probably not let the 3-5 have that large a competitive advantage with a new agreement. |
