If they can't even sit at a table together, then Free Agency is f'd.

I really wish the USFL would have hung around longer. It would have been different if players had leagues competing for them..

Re: Roll coaster Ride Continues

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

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.

Re: Roll coaster Ride Continues

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.

Re: Roll coaster Ride Continues

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.

Re: Roll coaster Ride Continues

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
