NFL CBA Negotiations Official Thread

[Da Schwab]

looks like owners have approved

Im wondering what the experts will say as to which side won

The PLAYERS CLEARLY WON. They are still getting paid way more than they deserve, and the owners and the league showed no backbone to drive towards a fair and logical pay system that makes sense and is good for the sport. This is a monumental disappointment in the sick game of American politics and economics.

I'd rather have no football than to have this deal, and I will throw my hat in the ring that nobody on this forum loves or cares about football and the bigger picture of football more than I do. It would be crushing to me not have football, but I'd rather see the right thing happen and get proper and better football when we are ready for it; with the proper maturity and sophistication that is required to respect the sport and to enjoy the sport the way it should be.

We as fans don't deserve to have football this year. Because we deserve more than what the players and the league can and ultimately will give back to us in exchange for our money.

as far as I can tell

the players and owners won, i mean who loses when you have 9b in revenue?

to me the losers are the agents, who cant cash in on rookies no more

Winners:
non-star players, who will get the bulk of the increased cash spending threshold.
pre-1993 retired players
players that outplay their draft status
small-revenue owners with stadium issues, one of whom will be in LA in two years for sure. The revenue sharing deal they got is sweet.

Losers:
the people of Canton OH, even though the HOF Game itself is dreadfully boring.
top 10 draft picks
undrafted free agents, especially this year
top-shelf free agents, especially after this year
people that don't want to pay to watch football games on TV
agents that don't do more than collect commission checks. Drew Rosenhaus is not one of them, FYI.

I was already finished by the time you asked. What purpose does this post of yours intend to serve?
