This is absolutely zero surprise, and means nothing for the lockout or the status of the NFL.

The NFL Coaches Association was fostered by the NFLPA* when it started up. The two groups are very, very closely related. Hell... the NFLPA gave the NFLCA some of it's office space in it's infancy to get going.

So this means little.

Bottomline both the coaches and players are now getting sick of the owners BS. The players just want the same CBA they had for years now and the owners refuse to do it. Owners seem to be the ones causing most of the problems right now. But bottomline bothsides have gone to far and they need to stop acting like a bunch of whining bitch ass kids and go back to the table. All this fighting ain't getting neither group a big edge over each other to be honest.

How many associations are there involved with this thing?! NExt we will hear that the agents association is butt hurt because their players aren't getting their bonus money.

I have a genuine issue with a small group of mainly retired or on the periphery players heading up 1000's of players. There is literally no way they have the best interest of the majority at heart and are simply pushing for the most money they can get.

It wouldn't surprise me that if this draft class see's the highest percentage of players hit free agency after their first contract, as they are all going to be operating as if they were holding out for the whole pre-season.

The whole issue with them wanting more money, is that the biggest slice of the pie will go to the top earners, with the minimums being increased ever so slightly.

I'm really tired of hearing about how the lockout is "harming careers"... please. The owners have a monopoly on the brand equity of the NFL (as they should), NOT the sport itself. The players and coaches are free to go start their own league at any time if they wished and continue their careers in that fashion, just as any one of us could do if we were locked out of our jobs.

I'm just sick of this poo, never thought the game of football would ever come to this, and neither the Owners or players are deeply affected by this lockout, it's the fans for us, it's the experience to cheer for your favorite team on Sunday.

The Owners and the players have taken this from us.

I agree that the basic problem here is greed, and it is petty.

But the bottom line is not really that the coaches and player are sick of the owner's BS...

There is no "bottom line" to all this, as it is complicated and has a large number of factors:

We are in an economic depression that by all accounts is not turning around as quickly as anyone had hoped, and even shows signs of worsening. The owners OWN a NFL based business, and have long and short term goals that they feel they need to accomplish in regard to cash flow and this unended economic situation. A major expense for their teams is player pay.

Players are operating from a standpoint of "Don't give anything back that you've gotten.", which is something Upshaw preached before his death. They don't want to lose their pay percentage cut of total revenue... period.

The Players are digging in their heals. The Owners are digging in their heals. The fact this has gone to court is REALLY, REALLY bad. The court systems WILL NOT RESOLVE THIS, because if the owners lose in court (and they probably will, as the courts favor employees in this country), they could potentially shut the whole league down and reform under new labor stipulations, or simply fractionalize the NFL into two parts again.

I've been saying this for months... but we could be watching the end of the NFL... at least as we know it.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
