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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
