My guess is y'all must be on the baseball board.
  • Demetrius Harris signed with his ole pal Nagy in Chicago.
  • "Hands" Greg Olsen signs with Seattle.
  • Landry will miss 6-8 months after hip surgery.
  • New CBA would expand playoffs and make rosters 55 players.
And no one has said boo.
New CBA might expand playoffs, and might expand rosters, also might include a 17th game and shortened preseason, and likely that it curbs some of the Commish's absolute authority on disciplinary issues.. As well as reduced penalties for marijuana.

I told everyone they'd be smart to entertain the idea of extra games, more money, more roster slots, less meaningless game, bigger slice of the pie in regards to increased cap size vs overall profits, they can ask for the world and likely get most if it by just with one or two more games

as of right now, the owner's version caps salary for players at $250,000 for the extra playoff game.

heard on the radio that 49% of the starters in the league make well over that.....

so it may be a "good for the majority" type deal as it stands today, but HIGHLY unlikely the players agree to it, imo

Watt already posted "Hard NO" on twitter last night, and I'd imagine he carries some weight with the players' union, even if he's one of the guys that has already made it

I look at it as bargaining. Start with a low offer, players come back with a high offer and they meet in the middle.

PHilly is shopping Jeffrey, who would welcome a change of scenery.

Im thinking that near $16 million cap hit makes that difficult.

They would have to eat a large portion of that salary to make it happen.

Oh yea, like Harold said, its negotiating. But with what's on the table, for both sides, I can't imagine they don't something dobe thats pretty close to those guidelines. I think a 17 game schedule is gonna happen, cuz if the players want more than what's on the table now, now way the owners give on that.

Current playoff paydays are:

  • $27,000 for a wild card game ($29,000 if they were division winner entering this round), plus
  • $29,000 for the divisional round, plus
  • $54,000 for the conference championship, and
  • $118,000 for winning the Super Bowl or $59,000 for losing.
I'm not sure what the 250k figure truly represents, but sounds like a significant boost to me

The new team is only on the hook for the salary and the workout bonus. The cap hit from the signing bonus, option, and the restructure stay with the Eagles as they've already paid them out. If he gets traded the new team would only be on the hook for $9,910,000(Plus 250k if he does the work out) for 2020 and $12,750,000(+250k) for 2021.

maybe that was a proposed salary cap for the 17th regular season game then, since all current salaries are structured around a 16 game schedule - either way, the current stars of the league aren't going to be in favor of any type of pay cut

and on top of that, 10 yrs????
players aren't going to be in for 10 yrs unless there's some kind of percentage payout on future media contracts. as those go up, so does the player salary pool

Well if its a cap on a teams salary for any one game, that's like 5 grand a player, no way that's happening. If its a max of 250k per player for any game, average salary is 860k a year, currently 50k a game...as an average. Only players in danger of any cut are those at over 4 million, which is way below half the players, could see it passing.

As for the ten years? Yea, tough to swallow, but if the negotiators have any sense at all, thier will be escalators triggered by any new revenue deals signed.

It all sounds like a great deal to me.
