It warms my heart to hear Garrett, Ward and Walker talk about being there to help the young and new guys. Doing the right thing for teammates and the team. Haven't heard any words about any of that from Tretter or the union. That's because you haven't listened to him. He believes the right thing for him, and any other player that chooses, is to rest his body in preparation for a long season. The data backs him up on this.

I think minicamps and such are actually good because it’s so far away from the start of the season, they’re not physically demanding, and they can meet new teammates and such, but I’m absolutely on board with a lot of these vets having very minimal training camps. Whatever they need to get physically prepared and that’s it. All of these vets should be mentally ready walking in the door. I do wish the vets were there and not participating though. It would be good for everyone to get to know each other and for the young guys to have vets to help mentor them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get away from the voluntary stuff. the defense is approaching it right. a lot of new pieces with FAs and rookies, and scheme being adapted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make unions work for the betterment of their members instead of for the betterment of themselves. sounds like you want unions to work better for the company...you join the union for the betterment of yourself and from their you gain brotherhood as you want to be together because their is strength in number in getting what you want as the worker. I joined the IBEW because of what it will pay ME, the benefits it gives ME, potential retirement it will give ME. When we have to vote, im voting for what will benefit ME. You look at the past NFL CBA, there is a reason the owners threw so much stuff that would benefit the young/barely been in the league guys, because they know the vets know better kinda like JCT knows these workouts are not better for the players since a majority of it is free/not paying guys. yeah if you get hurt, youre covered for the year but now that injury is going to hurt your potential future earnings. You want guys to be there for the workouts, pay them to be there. Are you willing to work for free on the weekend? Im sure as hell not. this is similar to what they are doing at these Voluntary workouts. have them working during their offseason. now if you have workout provisions in your contract, thats a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you equate "He believes the right thing for him, and any other player that chooses, is to rest his body in preparation for a long season." with what's best for the team and the new and younger players. 10 hours ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: I’m absolutely on board with a lot of these vets having very minimal training camps.

If they are not collaborating with the company to find best solutions to real problems, vs. those they fabricate to cause dissension in the ranks, they are doing a disservice to their members. Unions engage in lose-lose, not win-win, games. I get the ME, ME, ME.... Just like Tretter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys wont be in the league 2yrs from now and contributing to the pension and retirement or overall caring for the long haul. its also exactly way ownership went after that aspect. because they know they can get away giving them the crumbs, while owners get the whole slice. tretter advise guys to dont work for free but yet he is the a-hole to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchdigger Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Winning the Super Bowl is still JC Tretter's goal. He is staying away from team activities to preserve his body for the 17 game season and beyond. He is reassuring other players that they also have that right. The correlation between OTA participation and Super Bowl victory is non-existent. Stop insulting your own intelligence by trying to tie the two together.
