Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson was ridiculed when he opposed the bargaining agreement the owners passed, 30-2, in March of 2006. He and Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown were the only owners to vote no.
When Wilson said he didn't understand the new deal, the suggestions were that he was old and out of touch.
But Wilson was vindicated last week when the owners voted 32-0 to opt out of the deal, almost six months before the Nov. 8 deadline. And now the other owners are being asked why they voted for it in the first place.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, "I voted for it the last time because we had two years to see how some of this stuff worked, and if we didn't like it, we could start differently."
But if Wilson figured out it was a deal the owners wouldn't like, why couldn't Jones?
