These teams rely on those 5th year options and franchise tags to keep their talent from leaving to the highest bidder. There's a hard salary cap, if they can't keep their players that's kinda on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zithers2 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The NFLPA will get bent over again. Weren't there a handful of Steelers players crapping on Bell for not signing his tag? I mean, c'mon... with players sucking up to owners like that, what can go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only question IMO is who gives in first. Players losing "precious weekly" game checks or Owners losing 10's of Millions. Tag is going nowhere but could be adjusted but only if the owners get their 18. Don't think either issue gets resolved quickly since neither wants the opposite to occur. Which means OTA's, Mini, TC missed. Games will be effected! As will be the overall product. The players haven't striked since 1988. The owners have no reason to lock out the players. I'm very skeptical that their will be any work stoppage at all. Most likely summer of 2020 we will hear that current CBA is extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'm wondering if the number of players you can have active on game day comes up during negotiations. The rule largely seems silly. If the owners are pushing for 18 games this had to be on the table too, right? Along with expanded rosters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team has a hard cap as well as every team has money to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Fully Guaranteed Contracts. Only major pro sport without them. Silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those others should of never caved! From the NBA's Grant Hills (Injuries) to the Alex Rodriguez's (absurd please retire early contracts) of the world. Unlike the others the NFL is at more risk for career ending injuries. Last thing any team needs is to pay say Mack $130M, if he suffers a major career derailing injury next week. They'll never be fully guaranteed IMO. Nor should they be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted 3% of a $12B business us ALOT of money but I would hardly call the players getting better than 50% of revenue getting rekt. Unless you are talking about ancillary things like PED testing or disciplinary power, which I will say again the players dont give 2 craps about any of that. Its negotiation posturing in order to get as big a piece of the pie as possible. That's all that the union cares about at the end of the day. The other stuff they will always cave on provided it means more money in the players pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should get rid of Thursday and Sunday Night games. Make Monday Night great again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
