Goodell targets CBA by Super Bowl

[Gazi]

Though some have expressed hope that a new labor deal could be finalized by the end of the calendar year, Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached by the Super Bowl.

“There’s no higher priority than getting a collective bargaining agreement,” Goodell said Wednesday, per the Associated Press. “So we will work night and day to get that done.”

:biggrinjester: I agree with you on that one. I could careless what Roger has to say. What give him right to tell fans there will be a new CBA done by the time SB rolls around. Goodell is a moron. Not to be trusted.:smilielol5:

At this point we might be better off if it gets done later (before the draft) rather than sooner (before the SB). The longer it drags on the more the players will cave in i.e. rookie pay scale. The less we have to pay the #1 pick, more money to resign all these expiring contracts. The only drawback to this is, that the longer it takes, the less likely it is that Luck leaves Stanford. But, with a pay scale intact more teams would be willing to trade up; giving us ammo to fill more holes. Or we could take BPA @ #1 be it Green, Fairely, James etc. We sign a vet backup and let Jimmy have another crack at it. If he really is as bad as some believe then surely we will be picking high again next year when Luck almighty is forced to leave college. Either way we end up with a young franchise QB with much better talent around them than this years dismal display of practice squad pickups.

I have considered this scenario before as well, but i doubt the panthers find a way to be this shitty 2 years in a row, which is why i want Luck to Declare so we don't have to worry abuot our QB for the rest of our lives.
