Read this and thought I would share. Honestly, the best opinion article I've seen on the labor issue hands down. Really is a shame he isn't the one in charge of the NFLPA.

Path Towards a Solution

Thus far, the effort to find a solution to the problem of how NFL players are appropriately compensated for their unique investment in the game is bogged down in an argument over disclosure of current financial information relating to the 32 teams and the NFL. The issue of disclosure of current financial information focuses on whether NFL owners are presently making enough money or losing too much. This subjective debate is going nowhere because both sides are right. The NFLPA has a legitimate interest in ensuring that its members receive their fair share of the pie. NFL owners have a legitimate interest in maximizing the value of their business.

The solution for preserving NFL players’ and NFL owners’ legitimate business expectations begins with an agreement on the scope of future financial disclosure that is required to enable players to measure the performance of their annual investment in the game. Once players are able to measure the performance of their investment, the next step in the solution is developing a mechanism that enables players to receive a return on their investment, regardless of when that return on investment is realized.

How about the owners agree to give 50% to the players if each player with endorsements give the owners 50% of their endorsement monies.

You have a point. I never thought of it that way. If the NFL didn't give them their stardom, they would never have the endorsements they do. Even with Cam getting his, it's based on exposure through the NFL.

What about Jersey sales? The players don't get a cut from them!

But thats not a factor to the NFLPA. They want that and 50%.

DeMaurice Smith is a moron who is using this situation to try to gain clout. Taking this to the court system over 800 million out of something like 9 billion dollars? Just take your damn money and go home...Its more than any athlete SHOULD BE paid anyways.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
