Advancing past this weekend in the NFL playoffs could actually make it harder to get back there next season, under a little-noticed provision in the league's collective-bargaining deal. If no new deal is signed by March, new CBA rules kick in for next season—the final year of the contract. There will be no salary cap, but the final four teams will be essentially barred from signing any big-name free agents unless they lose some of their own. Teams that make it to the final eight face limits, though they're not as severe. All teams are free to hold on to their own free agents, however.

There is a link to that article and having read that now I'm happy we didn't make the playoffs. I think this is something I would like to see in baseball. However not in football! I want the salary cap and the more it comes out the more it looks the players should too.
