New CBA passed

Wow.  I didn’t think it would.  It was real close in the vote. 1019 for and 959 against. 
I would love to be in the meeting with Sulimani of how this really changes teams directions with contracts going forward.  Sulimani is said to understand the CBA more than almost anyone else.  
 

17 games and 2 more playoff teams. He’ll yeah. More actual football.

I also read somewhere that padded practices in training camp got drastically reduced.  If memory serves correctly, by nearly half.  So these guys will go into the season with only a dozen or so practices with pads on.  That actually sounds more dangerous.

I would say it's a perfect time to have a offensive minded coach. Defense is not wanted on either side. The last CBA cut padded practices to almost nothing and now this one makes them almost extinct.

As a fan I’m okay with an extra game. How is that going to play with the schedule? The 16 game schedule was perfect.

The chance at adding 2 more playoff teams was worth the 17th game. It gives more teams a chance to actually make the playoffs who are actually good teams.

jj watt said he didn't like it on twitter and the replies told him to 'stick to football.'

huh

Nobody cares what JJ Watt thinks, he can't speak for the entire NFL. Players passed the deal, so obviously it wasn't that bad of a deal.

If Watt doesn't like it he can retire. But I doubt that happens...

Assuming those numbers are accurate about half the players don't like it. A positive opinion sure can't speak for the entire NFL either.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
