Agree to a one year collective agreement.

Then the owners would not have the tv deal to rely upon in 2012. It seems like the owners have so much leverage since they will all be making $$ regardless of the lockout.

Take this leverage away and the negotiations would be much more fair.

Does anyone have Smith's cell phone number??

The networks should threaten to sue since they are not going to get the product they are paying for.

I think that's going to be one of the courses of action. Fox, CBS, and ESPN are going to go into a rage if the lock-out happens this season.

No way that the owners would put that on the table or agree to it. No one wants a one year deal...so we can go through this again next year.

You really don't understand Big Business and Corporate Negotiation Strategy.

I understand big business very well and I know its not going to happen. The idea is facetious.

My point was that the TV deal is making for a whole lot of leverage that otherwise wouldn't be there.

Here is what the NFLPA should do...

1. Shut their pie holes,

2. Thank whatever god they believe in that they dont have to rely on their education to put food on the table,

3. Sign the deal that they are being offered.

4. /profit

Yep. This time around, the NFL is asking for a bunch of things that are good for the NFL fan (the consumer). It is merely "coincidental" that the demands also happen to be good for owners.

Next time around, the players will have a list of demands that are good for fans, which are also "coincidentally" good for the players union, and then they will win.

The problem this time is that the players are defending things that are BAD for fans, and they are wasting their credibility with threats of decretification. When these kind of things get considered by judges and courtrooms, they are going to err on the side of the sport and the fans. They must answer to the peanut gallery too.

NO ONE has to answer to the players, except DeMaurice....and so far it's been a FORCED FUMBLE all the way.

My point was that the TV deal is making for a whole lot of leverage that otherwise wouldn't be there.

You act like this TV deal is something new, or unethical. Have you not been propositioned by your home mortgage company to purchase employment insurance in case you are no longer able to work?

The players leverage doesn't begin until after the first preseaon game is played....at that point.....the TV companies will be suing the owners not only for the $4 billion contract, but also lost revenues, due to the NFL not producing 16 games per week and the TV companies losing all that ad money....

Right, that is why I don't understand why they haven't spoken up publicly. Maybe privately they have and the owners are whispering sweet nothings. But I suspect the networks won't stay quiet too much longer.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
