NFL free agency begins today; Baylor's Brittney Griner throws punch and is suspended; Chargers decide to keep Sproles; 0-3 year players getting deals done
March 5, 2010
NFL free agency begins today and ushers in a season without a salary cap. With the uncapped season come new rules; players need six years of service to be unrestricred free-agents, players with 4 and 5 years of service now become restricted free agents. Prior to this year, after four years of service a player was an unrestricted free agent, and three years of service allowed a player to be a restricted free agent.
Thus, the uncapped season begins. Will the NFL ever get the NFLPA to go back to a capped season? Will the owners regret that they cut short the CBA? Will we again see the bitter struggles between owners and players that occurred in the 1970's and 1980's? Will there be a lock-out in 2011? Stay tuned; these questions will be answered over the coming months.
Brittney Griner throws punch and lands suspension
For at least one game, Brittney Griner has been suspended for a "fighting act". The NCAA will decide upon what, if any, additional disciplinary action will be taken.
We didn't see this coming
The Chargers tendered Darren Sproles just before free agency. The offer is a $7,283,000.00 one year contract.
