Possible cuts due to the failure to reach a new CBA?

[Dago81Sd]

Well, it looks like there will be no CBA agreement this year and the cap figure will stay the same with that of last years, which negates all those "projected" cap figures of +10-15 million. So, what cuts can we expect in the upcoming days? And what postion are the Chargers to land a solid group of free agents, considering they are already uner the cap while the rest of the AFC west is over.

With negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement restarted, a deadline for teams to meet the salary cap limit has been delayed until midnight ET Sunday. Teams have until 6 p.m. Sunday to waive players. Given the uncertainty of the past few days, players already waived could be recalled by teams. Without a new deal, a cap limit of $94.5 million could force many teams to cut big-name players to comply with salary limits.

There's already a thread on this. And btw, the cuts will come in the next 2 hours.

Yeah, due to the recent events, I thought the CBA issued warranted it's own thread. However, feel free to close/merge.

Anyhow, this is somewhat exciting in the short term to see those big name free agents available and the Chargers in a great postion to land a few, however, at the same time this could possibly have negative impact on the dynamic of the league in 2006 and possibly worse consequences in 2007 and beyond if they fail to reach a new CBA agreement in the upcoming year.

Also, on a unrelated note, it looks like the owners came back to the table with a low-ball offer after alreay extending the trade deadline.

Looks like this thread is concluded. CBA extension reached. :Beer:
