Sure as hell sounds like a strike to me. And if thats the case why do the fans all seem to be taking it lying down. I'll be effing outraged. When the NBA went on strike I got rid of my gear and never watched another game. And I was a fanatic.

A "strike" is initiated by the workers (they refuse to come to work) a "lockout" is initiated by ownership/management (they won't allow the workers to come to work). At the moment, the NFL owners are threatening to lock out the players if they don't come to terms on a new CBA.

The way things look right now - it's pretty likely to happen. Jerry Richardson is the chair of the ownership committee that's negociating with the players and he's holding off on extending Fox's contract or hiring a new coach for 2011 because there's a good chance there could be no NFL in 2011.

The lockout appears a real concern and something being driven by the owners. I hope they realize that it will hurt the NFL moving forward just like it did to baseball.

Well, I'm sure they aren't doing it because they are evil; they obviously have some real concerns (to be truthful I didn't look at the links and I don't know what their concerns are).

Look at them and get back with me. They do have concerns, it is money. They believe they have given up too much money during the last CBA and want it back. The owners are the one in control of this and driving the lockout. I don't believe they are evil, they want more of the money. This is the business version of chicken.

What's wrong with wanting more money? They feel they gave up too much and they want to take some back. It is they who finance the whole charade anyway. It's not like the players don't make a ton of money already anyway.

I just don't get the need for agents and the need for unions in the NFL.

That is exactly how the owners feel. You obviously understand their side of the argument. There are two sides though.

Considering they hired one of the minds behind the NHL lockout, I'd say they're probably all drinking the kool aid.

Problem is, the NFL is already the US's most popular sport. The brand has nothing to gain by locking out.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
