In an uncapped year, players need six years of service to become UFAs and both will have only five. Smith has already said that once the cap goes away, it's not coming back. That may be a negotiating ploy; nobody benefits with one-third of the league perpetual contenders, one-third contending once or twice a decade and one-third serving as farm teams for the big-money squads. That said, players may like the idea of a few guys making A-Rod money even if it means less money for players overall. Jones and Weaver would be restricted free agents.
