I'd love to know what pressure was applied to those teams that were oh lets say over 15% under the cap last year and this year. After all does the CBA not contain a lower limit of spending as well as an upper limit.
Yet when I look at this list i see the same old faces not complying with this aspect of the CBA
Now I know Goodell and Mara are the main reasons we are in cap hell, but I think the players Union who approved the punishment have to take some of the blame.
It is easy to punish those that can and do spend, but wrong to punish those that plead poverty.
Well thats what it reads like to me
