LOL at the NFLPA trying to ruin the biggest moment in these young kid's lives to try to get some more money.

Plus I thought they decertified. There is no NFLPA. Their cute fugging website is no longer found right??

What a sham. I was on their side on most of the stuff until last week. Now i JUST HOPE THEY GET FUGGED OVER.

There actually still is a NFLPA....it is just not a union representing the players.

Ok, The Draft and that entire spectacle is an NFL product. The players are officially locked out by the NFL. Why would they be there? The gloves came off as negotiations were over. If I was the Union I would also ask the players not to show up. If I was a player I would probably not want to alienate my peers on my first day. If I the "NFL" network or whomever the network that is broadcasting the draft I would be pissed. I just look at this like another incentive on getting done quicker. I mean it's not like the players aren't still going to be drafted.

Then aren't they tampering by communicating with players and prospective players if the don't represent them?

It's still an organization that represents the players. It's just not legally a union, but a trade association.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Growl · Posted

      Waiting to see how the OT situation plays out is probably going to be a big part of the calculus.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If you draft players who can push the starters in competitions, then you have depth.  Gantt's focus is Week 1, 2026.  That is never my view.  if your focus is on talent alone, and if you do not consider the salary cap, then this is accurate.  If a player making $25m per season can be traded or not renewed because you have a player on a rookie contract who can do the job almost as well--before the maturation and experience occurs, then you may take a small step back for a moment so that you can leap forward later.  About Walker--LTs have done pretty well in Green Bay's system.  He is a good pass protector, and so is Freeling. About DT--they are often rotational.  Hunter will still play and he will improve with experience.  The WR field is not that crowded.  If you have 5 different WRs who can play, they usually do.  Hecht might have the best opportunity to take a starting job, and he is a fifth rounder.   So you look at the cap and the idea is to start as many on rookie contracts as possible.  Does that mean to start rookies day 1.  Nope.

      It better be, if it wasn't for the Stank line we might have lost in the first round - Ottawa found a way to shut down our first line completely.
