Citing a players union source, Adam Schefter says the players see "zero chance" of any negotiations before April 6th, even if the league came to them with a new offer.

T'would seem they really are betting everything on winning in the courts.

So what happens if they lose?

I will always believe this has been DSmiths agenda from the start.

Players need a player friendly rep.

Owners brought this poo storm on themselves too.

They put the golden goose on the chopping block and DSmith has NO trouble taking it's head clean off.

What happens if they lose, is the NFL Owners get to cram a compensation package down the throats of the players paying as much or as little as they want, and telling them to take a fuging hike if they don't like it. Like any employer can do.

But...but...but... the players didn't walk away from negotiating table right?? They acted in good faith right?? All they wanted was some financial docs right??

LOL. I love the guys who continue to defend these guys when they show time and time again that they are not participating in good faith.

He's a lawyer. Lawyers tend to believe you solve things by going to court.

When I heard the NFL had offered a 'meet you halfway' deal on revenue sharing, I really thought the deal would get done.

When the players walked away without so much as a counter offer, my heart sunk :(

Get the impression that Smith is thinking "See, we got them this far, it's only time before they inch closer to what we want!"?

That's my thing with this...the union seemed to never even counter or compromise on anything. I agree with Pash...I didn't think the union was as committed to getting a deal done as everyone else.

GOOD!

I hope the players stick it to the Owners who were itching for a lockout anyway!

I've had enough of Jerry Richardson stealing from us season ticket buyers.

Tell Jerry to suit up, cause I ain't buyin any tickets for scrubs and arena league players like he put on the field last year.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
