Well-- if you want to get completely crazy about it, they could attempt to pay the league minimum for all their players. That minimum is based on years in the NFL and goes up incrementally. Something like 300,000 (rookie) to 500,000 (3 years) to 700,000 (5 years). Not sure if you have to declare a franchise player, but that would mean you must pay someone at least equal to the top five for their position. So maybe you declare the punter your franchise player (which may very well be true with this group of scrubs you have acquired). The point is that no team would bother doing that because they would draw squat and be out business faster than a Jeffrey Daumer sausage stand. I do not know if there is a league minimum you have to pay as a team. The point is you will not suceed in making any profits if you go that route as a team or as a business. It's pointless to even think of doing this-- you just make your team **** near worthless and therefore would lose cash from the purchase price (unless you are Art Modell).

The current salary cap establishes no floor whatsoever. they could pay less but the talent would be non-existent. No pay = no players = no championship

Last year on the way to the stadium to see a Bucs game, Eddie D passed us in a Police car led caravan. He probably just flew in/helicoptered in to Tampa airport (we were on Spruce). Must be nice to have that kind of ca$h. I would like to see him take over the Bucs and perhaps even act with one scant bit of decency in terms of raking the Tampa Bay community over the coals. Anyone see the latest issue with the Sports Authority trying to give ownership of the stadium to Hillsborough county (to avoid property tax)? The Glaziers are trying to piggy back in FREE terrorist/storm disaster insurance costing about $1 MM a year just to let the TSA make this simple move. SO any money they might save by giving the property goes where? You guessed it-- straight into the Glaziers pockets. Man they are the greediest bastards on the planet. How many zillions did they just make off the Superbowl victory? They still need more handouts from the people of Tampa. Screw them TSA-- keep the property, do not offer up the additional insurance, and let the property tax money go to where it truly belongs-- Hillsborough County.

New Jersey will be a tough series. I'm hoping the Bolts have grown enough in this series to make a run at it. The guys they've picked up this year and the young guys we stuck with have really made great strides. Bulin Wall Rules!
