Re: New CBA coming

The players are saying they are happy with the last cba. The owners are not happy with it. The owners want to set a limit on the money rookies get & also to give a lower percentage to vets. No agreement will be reached unless the players give in.

There definitely has to be a rookie salary cap!

I agree & any vet with common sense should also.

Im not 100% sure but I dont think this article means anything as far as the impasse being bridged.

Yup.


Players should earn their big contracts and the big dollars should go to the vets who put the work in.


The effect of a rookie cap would also be that there will be a lot less busts. Some players get into the league already multi-millionaires and it affects their ability to play the game.

This means young players will work twice as hard to secure the big money and it would mean a stronger league overall.

You're right.

This is pretty misleading. Someone should change the title of this thread.

Nothing has been agreed to, this is just the NFLPA getting cute.

Exactly, i thought a deal had been reached today by the title of the thread.

Re: New CBA coming

All this does is strengthen the position of the owners... This reeks of player desperation.

Re: New CBA coming

Wow, the players have offered to extend the CBA (that the owners opted-out of at the earliest possible chance) for a year, but won't take a pay cut? How can the owners refuse an offer like that?

Re: New CBA coming

Yeah, players accepted a news item posted on an NFL web site, the title is pretty misleading

Agreed

Sorry but the players need to take a cut, the rookie contracts need to be reduced and the real fans need a break at the ticket window.

If the players can't see outside their window of privledge, then they should all go to hell.

Well you can thank the owners for getting their rears handed to them in the last round of CBA talks. They should have told them to pound sand and threatened them with a lockout. But now the horse has been let out of the barn.
