The threat of a work stoppage increases

Never underestimate the ability of a bunch of oversized egos to act retardedly.
precisely. i will get pissed if they do it but i'll be right back there to welcome them with open arms when it gets going again just like 99.999% of all other fans.

He has got it wrong. The players aren't wanting more and will never get it. The owners were the ones to act because they think they are paying too much and want to pay less. They say they are losing money but refuse to open the books.

The fight will be to see whether owners want to kill the golden goose or continue as it is with a rookie cap.

No offense but hearing you guys talk NFL agreements and capology is painful.

This isn't about getting billions of dollars to play the game, it comes down to a few different things.

1. Revenue sharing between teams: i.e. what portion and from what of money is shared between teams, rather than being simply the one team's money.

2. The percentage of total revenue that is spent on the salary cap. It was designed to steadily increase in nominal amounts by slowly increasing the percentage, which is fair given the new streams of revenue the NFL have opened.

It's all fair agreements, not a lot of this debate is about players wanting more money. This is no different in the argument than trade unions on the docks or the mines arguing for different conditions and payment structures. It happens every day around the world.

Don't hate either side, this is an extremely convoluted and complicated issue. I'll have to find a thread I made a while back with a full explanation of how the cap and financial stuff works, but it's pointless to blame either side.

you know roughly 60% percent of the players in the league are out after three years, right?

if all you people that argued against new contracts by pointing out the highest earners approached politics the same way we might have a halfway decent country.

I must be part of the .001% then, I used to be a diehard baseball fan, but haven't watched a single game sine the strike of 94. I still love to go out and watch minor league games where there seems to be a lot more heart in it, nothing from the pros in 15 years.

Don't get me wrong, I doubt I could give up football that easily, and I do blame the owners more than the players this time, but I'm sure that it would slow down the money making machine that is the NFL

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
