Player salaries keep skyrocketing but want to do the same amount of games.  I wonder if the League went to 15 games if they would take a huge pay cut? It's not an additional game anyway, as one preseason game got axed.  They just don't get to get paid for watching on the sidelines as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th string play in the last "tune up" game.

I don't need a lecture on the CBA,  I just pointed out that they are getting massive pay increases for the same work load. They should be glad the League didn't scrap preseason altogether and go to 20 games.

Evidently you do. That same workload has been driving revenue growth. 

It's really odd how many fans side with the billionaires. How have you been convinced that you're in the good old boys club? LOL!

Starters only play a half or three quarters  of a preseason game. I doubt that will change.

They should’ve added another bye week.  More TV revenue for the NFL and more rest for the players.  I have a feeling they’re going to use that as a bargaining chip for when owners will want to go to 18 games.

 

I pity the poor fools who are first to go 0-17.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
