NFLPA & the NFL owners are meeting face-to-face today in New York, and it seems that we may see an agreement on a new labor deal... (Mort said : fairly optimistic...)

I heard it also on Mike and Mike. HE said something holding it all up was something about cash spent from the teams on top fo the cap?? He said he couldnt explain because he would even confuse himself LMAO.

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
I'm pretty sure the argument is over a 4% difference in revenue sharing. The owners want to give the players 56% and the players want 60 %
It doesn't take a genius to figure out what the middle ground is.Comment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
Not only that he said basically the Owners tried to play poker yesterday and call the players bluff but it didnt work so they called the players assoc and said they have a new proposal for the players and Upshaw agreed to move the deadline for FA and salary cuts to get it done.Comment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
Here is the #1 issue. The players want 60% period while giving the owners NO consession on money spent on stadiums, upkeep, and other things that owners have to pay for. They just want 60% of the gross. It will NEVER happen.
Hell the IRS allows a business owner to deduct his lease, utilities etc before determining taxable income.Comment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
I would guess one more week but not much more than that. It leaves too little time to do FA esp with all the cuts etc THEN try to get the draft done. 1 Week max is my guess.Originally posted by Italian StallionComment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
It will be Monday. I dont see them pushing it back anymore.Comment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
And I got to thinking after my post, why should they? The CBA is the CBA and the only thing they need to know they can learn in 1 hour of review. Maybe 1 week from today tops would be the setback.Originally posted by BillsIN05Comment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
Imho, FA will start sunday @ midnight...
The way I see it, NFLPA & the owners already know that they will be able to get an agreement on a new CBA, so they talked about it yesterday & decided that it would be enough to push FA until sunday @ midnight..."Thinking is the hardest thing there is, that's why so few engage in it!"

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
Agreed, but the longer they keep pushing back FA the harder it is on the draft. Look you of all people know there won't be major changes in how FA's/ Draft picks are delt with. Not so much they can't kick this off monday anyway. They need to quit screwing around with it and get going.Originally posted by clumping plateletsIt's gonna get doneComment

Wow Ice becomes a Donor and all of a sudden since that point acc talks with some smarts. Either the Donor part did it or he got a new connection in NFL and Front office of the Bills that is better then the direct # to his buddy and fellow coach LEvy LMAO. (j/k)Comment

Re: From Mort... on the Mike & Mike Show
Gene Upshaw said he will NOT sign off on another deadline pushback. If it doesnt get done by Sunday, its not getting done. Free agency will definitely start at 12:01am Monday morning.Comment
