Revenue Sharing Coming To An End




and with it will end small market teams ability to compete.

Star-divide

I just a read a report on ESPN saying that revenue sharing is to end in March 2010. The NFL is soon going to be just like MLB. No more any given Sunday; the NFL will be a league of haves and have nots. I fear this season and maybe next season will be the last chance the Bengals have of being a winning team. No cap and no revenue sharing along with no minimum payroll is the death nell for any Brown Family owned team in Cincinnati. I fear we will all see that Mikey boy, being the astute lawyer/business man he is, has an out in the Hamilton county owned football stadium. Am I over reacting?

the point is..

if revenue sharing ends he doesn’t get money just for being an owner in the NFL anymore.. Mike Brown basically will no longer receive child support and have to raise his team on his own.

not for another 21 years

MB has a contract but he doesn’t have to spend and put a winning team on the field. Hamilton County dropped their lawsuit so he’s free to put back a losing team after this year.

Mike Brown

is NOT always at the cap limit, actually. The Bengals have consistently left room for contingencies and then not used it.

don’t expect the league to go too long without a cba, especially without one that includes revenue sharing. i’m pretty sure the owners realize they lose more than a little money if they allow any sort of stoppage.

My fear

is that there will be a CBA but with no salary cap. There might (MIGHT!) be a revenue sharing plan reinstituted to help small market teams but with no cap large market teams (like Yankees in baseball) will have a distinct advantage. My belief is there will be a cap on the rookie pool but no cap on >3 or four year veterans. If there is revenue sharing it will be diminished.

i really don’t think the owners are stupid enough to sign a new cba that doesn’t include a salary cap; they might go the nba route where one player doesn’t count against the cap, but there’s no way they’ll allow an agreement to be reached without a cap.

I hope you're right...

…the CBA has been pretty good to the NFL across the board. I hope the owners realize that.
