scar988 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 The Full CBA has been released for those of us who want to go through it: https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/NFLPA/CBA2020/NFL-NFLPA_CBA_March_5_2020.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Mandating fines if someone doesn't show up to work in a bargaining agreement is ******* just exceptionally evil, we should take bets on which owner in particular pushed it the hardest.

Also, kudos to the NFLPA for insisting on getting life insurance. I was offered that perk as a 10 year old on my paper route. (I'm serious) 10 year old with a paper route is 10 times more dangerous than playing in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 10 year old who had a paper route, I can assure you that I was given complimentary life insurance for our local suburban newspaper. I'm 100% serious.

jebrick Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The owners gave out enough for the masses of rank&file that they can throw in stuff that hurts the stars. There is no reason all the lowbie players would not vote for this and their are not enough stars to stop it going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I read today that NFLPA "membership" (so far as voting goes) just means you are paying dues, not that you're actually on a team right now So that swells the ranks of low-end and fringe players and likely pushes the vote toward approval.

Owners always bate the "working class" players into going into these deals because it's a slightly better immediate gain but a terrible long term contract. Players need a freaking strike fund, it is insane to me that they apparently don't have one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTRDynasty Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 First, lol @ the date. But does this means a lot more players are going to be juicing during the regular season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players should go to Warren Buffet and offer him a 10% return on a loan and see if he'd go for it Peyton and Eli Manning together could fund that loan too, they've combined for over $500M in earnings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
