I’d set the O/U at Father’s Day 2027, and take the over.

We’re definitely going to miss some of the 2027 season—maybe all of it.

I think most fans agree we need a salary floor and a ceiling if we’re going to keep this sport healthy.

Don't even think we need a ceiling, just get rid of deferrals and really come down heavy on going over the CBT.

I definitely think they need a cap. There needs to be a mechanism to drive parity by limiting how big the gap between the lowest and highest spenders. The floors the owners are suggesting are going to force the low end teams to drastically up their payrolls. If you have a floor and no cap, the rich teams will just continue to outspend everyone else.
