One more year of getting as many 1st round picks as possible and with our player payments at something like 85% we're good to go on top up free agents in coming years or paying the youngsters who have shone better contracts that they've earned.

Compared to the mire the list and salary cap were both in, things are pretty rosy really.

We are paying 95% at the moment.

95? I thought we had set ourselves up with the lowest player payments in the comp. Guess I was wrong.

That is as low as you can go.

Ahh... for some reason I thought it was 85. Good to see you Plugger... Feels like it's been about a year since I've been on this forum.

Post more often. What you can do now is one year pay 95% and the next 105% but you cant have 2years at 95% and then 110%. I reckon we would have at least 1.5 million to play with if we wanted too in the next 2 years.
