it’s not going to effect enough guys for it to matter. and if it’s that big of a deal on a superstar just give him a little raise

Also new contract will be signed with the 17 game schedule in mind.

The $250,000 limit, well those players are getting paid pretty well anyway.

I'm voting for it. Where do we go to cast our votes?

Honestly does look like a new deal. I hope MVP says yes on it tomorrow!

So 32 player Reps are going to be real important. They have to have a 2/3 vote for yes before it gets to the rank and file union members.

Nice presents from the owners have been showing up for those reps...or horses heads found in the bed.

Russell Okung who is a rep is trashing this on twitter...David Bahktiari also doesn't like it. Apparently this is not a win for a lot of guys.

I’ve been covering sports labor for 20 years. This deal the NFL owners are putting forth might be the worst deal with the exception of the deal the NHL players accepted in 2005 after a year off. There’s no way the NFLPA says yes to this.

The new NFL deal proposed by the owners would pay players a max of $250,000 for the 17th game in contracts already signed. The players cannot accept anything less than receiving the same amount they make for a regular game check for that season. Many make more than $750,000/game.

The owners have been pushing for a seventeen game season for a long time. In all the years it’s been brought up I don’t ever remember a player saying that extending the season was a good idea.
I do however remember players basically saying **** that we’re beat up enough as it is in 16 games.
If it does go through I’d expect more players to retire early.

Mecca · 02-20-2020, 08:45 PM

If this gets voted down there will be a prolonged lockout.

**BossChief** · 02-20-2020, 08:46 PM

This is going to end up a 50-50 split on revenue and the cap will be 300m in 5 years...maybe 4.

It’s a “first offer” so OF COURSE the players side is going to take a “hard no” type of stance.

Who expected anything different?

Even if they truly love the deal, this is a major negotiation.

Nope.

Ubeja Vontell · 02-20-2020, 08:49 PM

Two preseason games and dump the pro bowl. Sure you get the honor of being a pro bowler , but no actual game.

49.5 to players max imo. well from what i’ve heard. only 1 vote though...

arrowheadnation · 02-20-2020, 09:09 PM

This is just the first offer. They'll go back and for giving and taking until they reach an agreement.

BTW....JJ Watt tweeted "that's a hard no" in response to this.
