Old Guy Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Brat&Beer said: The salary cap figure though was the result of a negotiation between the owners and the NFLPA. Rightly or wrongly, I suspect Brady is being critical of what the NFLPA agreed to. A lot of team reps, Rodgers included, were critical of the last CBA the NFLPA agreed to. A lot of players feel the owners just keep winning and the players keep losing in these negotiations. I think that's what Brady's comments were reflecting. The valuation of a franchise is an accounting thing. It's what they anticipate you could sell for. Last year the revenue was down, significantly. The cap went down per the CBA agreement. If you get your house assessed at 1,000,000.00 and you put it on the market and can only get 500,000.00. How much is your house actually worth? If that was Brady's take, poor negotiations, he's a fool. No one could have predicted what happened last year when they negotiated this CBA what, eight years ago. Brady should shut up and play quarterback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about asking for a change to an agreed upon contract, is that the other party doesn't have to agree to it. The discussion was whether or not owners would be willing to pay more now by borrowing against future cap. The owners said no, probably due to uncertainty in a bunch of financial markets where their wealth is kept. No means no in this kind of negotiation. As far as Rodgers and Brady not liking the CBA, Great. The CBA isn't for them. The CBA is negotiated for run of the mill vets. If Rodgers and Brady were happy about the CBA, that would be a warning sign that the rank and file got screwed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom of the roster players got increased minimums. Top end players still get paid. Why would the NFL or the nflpa cater to the top fraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Mike Garafolo - The Dolphins have agreed to restructure CB Xavien Howard’s contract, source says. The situation has been resolved. He’s staying in Miami. It’s believed to be the first time in NFL history a player with four years left on his deal has received added money and guarantees. Ian Rapoport - What did Xavien Howard get? $1M Pro Bowl incentive. $3.5M in additional incentives. Rescinding all minicamp fines. The max for 2021 is $16,285,294 Andrew Brandt - This is a way for a team to not set precedent of "real money" in an upgrade. All "on the come" money, easy gives by the Dolphins. Win for them.

Refugee Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 C Wood, absolutely one of my favorite Packers, pretty much conquered the field on every level he’s ever played. Definition of a first ballot HOFer and all class to go with a game that was second to none. Great speech. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
