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.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
