Until the NFL realizes that they do not need these handful (becoming increasingly larger hands) of players... and make the players realize that without the NFL and the teams they are on... they would be in the unemployment line... this will continue to go on.
The NFL needs to take a stand and say "You play for X dollars... and you'll like it, or you can go play for the CFL or AFL". Once that is stated.. and held to... within 2 years, the players will be back willing to play for 1 million, rather than 8 million.

Originally posted by OpIv37I'd like to see that happen, but there are at least two ways it could backfire. First, some team will always act in their own self interest and overpay one of these guys to win. Second, if these guys hold out and end up in the CFL or AFL, the level of play in those leagues will increase and they could provide competition with the NFL. I just don't see the NFL taking a stand because they have too much to lose. And regardless of how much guys like TO get paid, the NFL still makes far more in advertising revenue, merchandising rights and ticket sales.Political correctness ( or cancel culture as it is called today) is a doctrine fostered by a delusional ,illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by MSM which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Originally posted by ticatfanThe CFL is a different game then the NFL. The only way the CFL would hurt the NFL is paying out the same dollars. Something that will never happen.
And yes, the game is different but techniques and skills do not change with rules and plays.

The only problem for the CFL are the players. For one the NFL is the league. And two these guys have the egos and I couldnt see any of these me players playing in a sub standard league. It would be like offering them a million to drive an Camry or a Beamer. Being of equal value, they would still take the NFL.Buy land in AK now. In ten years due to global warming, it will be the new tropical paradise, minus the tropics
