hawkeyes Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The NFL and is wanting to vacate the Federal Judge ruling that YKW can keep 16 million, because that would mean other players could keep money that are in situations. Will there be no pro football in 2009 because of YKW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xnex Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 You may be onto something. There was a report on ESPN that said the owners were going to either pull out of the current collective bargaining agreement or not renew it as it currently is because they have no recourse in situations similar to Vicks.By similar I don't mean "players who go to prison", but instead I believe they were referring to the idea that once a bonus is given there isn't a dependable way to reclaim any of those funds if a player does something to warrant being removed from the team. I may not be using the correct wording here but there appears to be a concern that the Vick situation has highlighted something that the owners do not like in the current agreement and that they are willing to fight over it after next season.

Owners pay roster bonuses and the like for salary cap reasons. If they were not able to foresee that paying someone a huge amount of money with no recourse of getting it back was problematic -- well, so be it. They signed on to the system. If I pay a guy a small fortune (maybe I want a big tax writeoff) to reinsulate my house, knowing full well I can't get my money back if he gets thrown in jail, or whatever, before the house is insulated, how smart am I?

greyhawk Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes and the NBA and Pro Baseball will go out in sympathy. The NHL is planning a sympathy brawl at center ice of the playoffs and the PGA players will man the picket lines with their 5 irons.
