What amazed me is how much the players didn't trust the owners on Thursday and by Saturday the law suits were dropped. So the proprosal by the owners must have been plenty fair.

Theyhateme : ) Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 WOn't consider it official until the ink is dry, so to speak./I agree...because I initially thought that they'd signed, but the Breaking News is that they've agreed, the NFL and players.

paulitik Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 This deal is looking pretty good. What the players lost in revenue share, they gained in better quality of life as far as practice goes. I like the rookie salary structure, the benefits for retirees, better Vet pay. I gotta give it to Goodell and Smith, when it came to crunch time, they got it done. I still think the lockout was a ridiculously stupid move by the owners, but I'm happy with the results.I still don't see how any of this couldn't have been agreed to without locking anyone out.

Remember the players reaction? I was a little surprised, especially by Gonzo's vid..."....it BETTER be a fair deal for the players...etc." They just flat out didn't trust the owners...LOLOL!

slamee101 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 SO you think it was a good deal. And it **__COULDN'T HAVE BEEN AGREED TO__** without locking anyone out. . . and yet say the lockout was stupid?Why could it NOT have been agreed to without a lockout? The revenue sharing (which I feel was the real hangup) is nowhere near what the owners were requesting prior to the lockout. They could have come with this offer without locking the player's out. They figured the NFLPA would cave much earlier and/or they'd have that 4 billion to sit on. Neither of which worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since the problem was the NFLPA. . . yeah, I don't think it coudl have happened without the lockout, because otherwise, frankly, there would have been no pressure at all on the player's side.

The owners wanted a new CBA...asked for something that they've essentially since conceded in large part which kind of means they wasted our time over the last 4 months. The "pressure" you're speaking of was essentially non-existent. The owners created this and wanted a new deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
