They want a settlement mediation, NFL wants to go back to collective bargaining.

edit: NFL doesn't want federal mediation because they don't want a federal judge overseeing the next labor deal.

Right, that's the difference... (was just doing some reading on it...)

The owners will likely reject this offer from the players.

I think the judge is giving the owners enough rope to hang themselves by not forcing them to federal mediation, but suggesting that's what they should do and making it pretty clear she's leaning towards the players right now.

If the owners refuse to submit to federal mediation, then I think she will rule in favor of the players and grant the injunction. By refusing to submit to mediation, the owners are once again demonstrating that they are not dealing in good faith.

The owners and players realize this is the game being played by the judge, which is why they are doing all this posturing about returning to mediation... both have made a point of sending letters to one another today suggesting different forms of mediation, the owners don't want another judge overseeing the next CBA.

I wouldn't think it matters that much, a mediator has no power to rule over decisions or anything. They just try to help the two sides reach a mutually acceptable deal.

If this was arbitration or something, then yeah. But mediation is nothing to worry about from the owner's perspective.

      He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
