Wait...

More doom and gloom fellas:

It's good that it's a deal that either side is incredibly happy with. A fair deal is one that everyone generally doesn't like, and both feel like they've lost out. That's called compromise.

Right on. I just hope there isn't too many unhappy people on either side, that's my worry.

After all the back and forth of these negotiations, I'm just really pessimistic until it gets done.

Just like PFT (I know, I know, it's PFT) reported, this should be a no-brainer. The players elected De Smith, and should trust him to get the best deal possible for them. Trying to go against that now makes no sense.

The more I read and the more I watch... the more I fugging HATE NFL players in general. I have love for the Carolina Panthers, but the guys like Brees, Mawae, Jackson, etc...they can all tear an ACL for all I care. This is ridiculous. And I don't care 1 bit if that sounds like being a poor sport. I want my football, damnit, and these rich POS supermen want $10 instead of $8 million... well, I want a car without 148,000 miles on it. I want someone to buy my freaking townhouse so I can actually afford to live a little. Most of all, I want to be able to watch football in my very brief time away from work, and these SOB's are taking that from me. They can go to hell.

Said ECUPantherfan as he ran out of the room, tears streaming down his face.

Don't get this:

mortreport Chris Mortensen

RT @shimbomba: @mortreport we sill on for monday freeagency? >> If approved, negotiate w own FA, then looks like next Thursday for all

I thought the exclusive window started the day after the new CBA was ratified? Would fall in line with teams starting organized activities Monday b/c they'd have the weekend to negotiate with their own FAs...

He and Schefter have been reporting that the window to sign your own FA would begin on Monday, and FA would begin 72 hours after that. This weekend (if the deal is done) is going to be to let teams read over and understand the new CBA, FA rules, etc.

Just random muscle flexing before they agree to the deal. They want to look like the positives were due to actions and that they are not taking a deal just to be taking the deal. This thing is over, and by tonight, we will have a deal and a timetable.

NFLPA is starting to make me mad as hell. Seriously. The Deal is not going to get any better then what they have. They have almost everything they want. Both sides arent going to be happy because everybody isnt going to get what they want. If the NFLPA approve the Deal, it will get done. Because i dont see the owners turning the deal down because they get some of there money back.

If the NFLPA votes to an agreement Thursday the lockout will end. Trust me.

Yeah, the timing is horrible for a stupid comment like this. Three weeks ago, maybe, but the players are in no position at this point to be making demands. This is like being at a restaurant and eating 95% of your meal, then calling the waitress over to complain about the way it was cooked and threatening to send it back to the kitchen.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
