Packerraymond Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 No football lockouts for at least 10 years. Nice to finally hear some good news. New playoff format kinda sucks but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Mediocre deal overall. Good that the fringe guys got a few carrots thrown their way I guess. Not even a 50-50 split for 17 games + extra playoff game...joke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherm Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Also there is no op-out clause like the owners had for the prev deal. 10 yrs is a long time to not restructure a deal especially when gambling and streaming services like Prime and Disney+ will be getting involved in the next rounds of TV bidding. Couldn't even get the 50/50 split at any point of this deal. Tops out at just under 49% I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing teams don't cut guys just to avoid a roster bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's a union problem that the owners can no doubt exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
