Indirectly to do with the Panthers due to the implications of the CBA

I can see more and more players starting to feel the heat as it get's closer to the deadline. I wouldn't be surprised to see more comments like this seep out over time. The thing is he is right, the reps are focus on the big numbers when the guys making less are essentially going to get butt raped.

With just 32 owners to stay 'calm' and thousands of players on the other side, I can see only one way this will end up.

I bet so, he has 8 mouths to feed.

[Brooklyn Bully]

I blame Mr. Smith.

[TylerDurden]

When referring to the head union rep, was he talking about D. Smith?

[CRA]

Cromartie literally has like 57 kids. Child support is a mofo. Guy needs to work.

[Nicbsbll2]

I'm glad to see that at least some of the players see De Smith for the scum that he is.

“Honestly, I don’t give a damn if they get mad at me or not,” Cromartie said. “But it’s getting to the point where it’s getting ridiculous when everything is always dealing with money. You’re basically dealing with people’s livelihoods… You’re dealing with hundreds of thousands of other people in this workplace from the venues to everyone else. To me, you need to stop bitching about it. If you want to say that you want to get into a room and meet. Then, do it. Don’t just talk about it.”

“You got our head union rep acting like an a-hole,” Cromartie added. “They got their guys acting like a-holes. So they just need to get their sh-- together and just get it done.”

I presume head union rep is Smith

The players won't make it past week 3. Mark it down.

IMO they won't miss a game.

[Jackofalltrades]

I think the players are in a good position, but DeMaurice Smith is their biggest problem.

Cromartie just telling it like it is, LOL

This is why he's one of my favorite players in the league, and I agree with him. They need to talk, and get some kind of deal hammered out. Both sides need to get their egos in check, because I want to see some football next year

[Panthro]

You want to make the NFL shake in their boots? Threaten to sit out of the Super Bowl. You'd have a deal hammered out in 2 hours.

But doesnt' know their names....
