There is only just under three months left before the Owners and Union must reach an agreement on a new CBA. If they dont 2010 will be an uncapped year and will have a huge impact on the entire league. Here are a couple of articles detailing the changes that will take place to the league.

I will give you a quick cliff notes version. In 2010 there could be 170 fewer free agents due to players having to play 6 years instead of 4. Teams will have 3 tags instead of the 1 they now have this mechanism alone could lock up 30 players. 200 players would be off the market. there are several other key changes but the one to free agency will effect the Texans the most.
Say the Texans go 7-9 or 8-8 and Kubiak is not fired he will really be on the hot seat in 2010. Theres going to be a giant lack of free agents. We will be stuck with a mediocre team and Kubiak.
Say Kubiak gets fired and McNair hires mystery coach. Hes going to have a different system and he will have a time getting the free agents to overhaul our O-line. The O-line has been built with mostly smaller agile players for the ZBS.
Heres hoping the Owners and Union can agree to something before the deadline.
Thoughts?
