The league upped the cap for them. They like parity.

Perhaps its part of a deal they struck with Al Davis to keep him from suing the league every other week.

Sounds like a case of backloading contracts...

I wonder how long it takes Al Davis to file a lawsuit over the typo.

This is what happens when every one of your players opts out of their contract so they can get the hell out of town.

DD, read that again. That's $500,000+ million or more conventionally, $500 billion. All of East Bay, including Oakland is not even worth that much. :D

Dammit. They listened to me (and probably others) and fixed it.

That's around 10% of the GNP. I think they should be able to solve some of their problems. Must have a hell of a revenue stream over there in Oakland. . .
