GRAPEVINE, Texas -- NFL owners chose the certainty of a salary cap over the prospect of life without one, and they're paying for it.
The league agreed Wednesday to the union's proposal, including a revenue-sharing component that will cost owners nearly a billion dollars over the next six years.
The deal will carry the NFL's 32 franchises through the 2011 season. Two low-revenue teams, Buffalo and Cincinnati, cast the only votes against.
