Thanks for the article. I too was among the few who believed something along these lines would happen.
I'll add another reason for this (already have been a couple of good ones).
IF the cap was going to cash strap a bunch of teams (Bills included) it would turn into a bargain basement situations for the few
teams that will have a lot of money next year. It would be a huge unfair realignment of talent benefiting teams that were in the process
of turning over their rosters.
