Local readers take weekly challenge of picking winners

Posted on Sep 19 2004

With the successful push for parity by the management of the National Football League, it is becoming harder for teams to maintain a level of dominance with the same personnel due to the mandated salary cap.

When negotiating contracts with marquee players, affordability becomes more of an issue in the decision-making process than loyalty.
