All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
all it means is that there will be alot of 1-4 year contracts signed with low signing bonuses, and without having unrealistic years added to the deals.
the one thing I could see the players holding out for is guarnteed contracts, the NFL is the only sport that does not have them, where the employer can renig on a signed legal document
Nothing but morons, doesn't everyone see this is going to hurt a game that makes them all rich?
I see MLB all over again. Major League Baseball was very popular and one of the best leagues around and then they got greedy and went on strike. That scared away sooo many Baseball fans. i could see the same type thing happening if they strike and/or get locked out.
Yeah, I don't forsee a lock-out either. It will just go back to what it was before FA was established. That wasn't too terrible. If I remember correctly the Bills made 4 Super Bowl appearances without Free Agency.
The interesting thing is that Troy Vincent said that they will block a lockout.
Vincent added the NFLPA will decertify if an agreement is not reached because that would keep the owners from being able to institute a lockout. Vincent said the union was putting those mechanisms in place as he was speaking with WGR.

it won't happen now because of the money that the richest teams have.
there will still be Free Agency just no hard salary cap, it will go back to more of when winning in the NFL was about pride and not matipulating a system to make a huge profit and try to win
