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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
