You are correct.

The agreement concludes weeks of contentious negotiations between the league and the NFL Players' Association. The new extension will add nearly $8 million to the 2006 salary cap, pushing it to $102 million, Mortensen reports. Without a CBA extension, the 2006 cap would have been $94.5 million. The 2007 cap will be $109 million, according to Mortensen.

Well this is good news

102 mil? Wow, everyone was shooting to get below 94.5 now the figure is raised 7.5 mil. What a year to be a FA! With teams getting that extra amount, there should be a fair bit of extra to drive salaries up a bit.

Although as has been mentioned a lot of current deals assumed that the cap would be 104, so there mightnt be the room that people think.

Those of you doing a happy dance because of the extra money thinking it'll mean more free agents in KC need to remember that everybody is getting the extra 8 million, not just us. I doubt a whole lot is going to change for us.

But I've been wrong a time or two before.

Not sure if this Clayton article has been posted yet, but I found it to explain the situation nicely..

Glad they ALL (except two) came to their senses.....CBA in place saves the league at least for few years.

Rate Ralph Wilson of Bills and Brown of Bungels as incompetent owners that don't understand it and obviously their yes men couldn't explain it well enough to make them understand it.

Of course they could have been just the tokens to vote no to show some due diligence against Union.

I personally think CP has been down playing our cap situation...we won't spend like last year, but we can - if we want - make a run at TO or Law..or at least a couple of solid starting vets...should be interesting.

The restructures we did for several players weren't ever sent to the league office. They were prepared in case we absolutely had to get down to $94M.

I'm guessing we're right at our cap number now, because they tore up those restructures.
