Exit 117 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Could add up to $10M in cap room for each team - Jets are $15M under the $94.5M, meaning the new deal would put them at $20M to $25M under the cap for free agency. Nice. The deal passed with a 30-2 vote, the two negative votes being Buffalo and Cincinnatti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uconngiants Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I thought Free Agency was supposed to begin Thursday? Since they re neogatioated the deal the teams can need more time to get under the deadline is my guess also i was wondering why it was the Bengals and Bills that voted against it i thought it would be Jerry Jones and Snyder but then agains How cheap is the owner of the Bengals (Paul Brown i think not sure) so not a big shocker but i am not sure about the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
