Thanks Michael. I think it's an interesting topic. I'm going to wait until the Heat are done before I write it, Them winning or not changes the angle, but I will still write it either way. BTW, I will be very surprised if one of those guys isn't on the Heat next year.

Thanks for listening. I wished you would have called. Have a great holiday.

HEY Michael . you forgot that the Bulls still have to play the games. Guess what.. they are the first victims.

Hey Michael,

Check out the latest article i wrote on the Bulls and their mindset moving forward. It's a totally different take and I would love your feedback on it. Thanks.

Finally reached the 500k mark and posted my 300th article. Can I hit a million by the end of the year?

Thanks again to everyone who reads and comments on my articles

AWESOME article on Charlotte taking back what used to ours. Keep up the good work & I really hope this is in the realm of possibilities!

Thanks for reading my article I am going to be posting another one here soon and I plan on posting articles and updates every other day if not every day. To add to your opinion, I gave the safety positions such a high grade mostly due to having such youth within these two positions and so much talent. I could have given that position a B but an A, to me, seemed to be a better grade overall. Also, be sure to comment, more comments the better!

Again, thanks for reading and I hope to see you continue reading my posts.

You're a legit Chicago fan. Love reading your stuff. Keep it up.

I am very grateful for all the people who read my articles and take the time to comment. The last six months posting on Bleacherreport have been extremely enjoyable.

300k reads and being a level 2 featured columnist was a nice start and by the end of the year I expect to be even better

I found this and was wondering if its true or just Bull****?

New CBA gives teams the right to carry over cap space automatically

As the NFL readjusts to the problems that arise from spending that once again will be approaching the annual salary cap, there’s an important provision of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement that needs to be highlighted.

Under Article 13, Section 6(b)(v) of the CBA, each team may carry over any remaining cap room from one year to the next by submitting written notice, signed by the owner of the team, to the league office no later than 14 days before the start of the next league year. The written notice must indicate the maximum amount of cap room that the team wishes to shift from one cap year to the next.

This relatively simple device replaces past tools for carrying over cap space, which included (for example) loading up a renegotiated player contract with a phony “likely to be earned” incentive that would chew up space in one year and then trigger a refund to the cap in the next year.

What’s odd about the new procedure is that teams must affirmatively choose to carry over the cap space. If a team wishes to be competitive, why wouldn’t all remaining cap space be carried over in any and every given year?

The last time we updated the 2011 cap dollars, the Jaguars had $32.9 million in space. The Chiefs had $27.4 million, the Broncos had $25.6 million, the Bucs had $25.1 million, the Seahawks had $21.7 million, and the Bills had $20.9 million.

The fans in each city should be clamoring for the maximum remaining cap room to be carried over, and the media in each city should be poised to get a full explanation if the full amount isn’t carried over.

Meanwhile, we’ll try to think of a plausible explanation for not carrying over the cap space. If nothing else, the excess cap space from 2011 will create excess cap space in 2012 that can be carried into 2013, and so on, until the need arises to use it.

With the new league year beginning on March 13, the notices must be submitted by February 28.
