exactly....the owners could band together and say...we agree together...we will not sign any former players whatso ever ... that all contracts stay ....meaning ...if manning decides to come back...the browns cant grab him...he must go to the colts and they work out his salary
that the max salary would 5 mill per year in the new league..hey if these guys wanna stay back with demorice smith and earn nothing...so be it...you wanna earn between 450k and 5 mill go back in
the world is full of players...i would watch regardless if the players were the new rookies, unsigned players, ufl players, cfl players
.
I bet all the players that are financially smart are probably thinking about which golf courses and tropical islands they're gonna be visiting this year while all of the rest of the not-so-responsible ones are probably looking for employment so they can pay child support and for their 26" wheels.

I just feel bad for Travis Henry and his 9 kids. If he doesnt get more money he may to resort to criminal behavior......wait....
Dunno. But you'd think not until they are actually a part of the nfl. Which would mean after they sign a contract.

Bitter Clinger. Deal with it.

From what I read, the NFLPA paid the way for the top 15(?) Players/families to go there and wait to be drafted.
Since there is no longer an NFLPA, maybe they're just trying to make the obvious, less obvious?

I am sick of millionaires crying because they can't be richer...
I pretty much agree with whomever posted to bring in replacements...it could be interesting.
on the other hand, the owners are even more replaceable than the players. Do you, or anyone else, give a rat's behind who signs the cheques?
when hockey went through their thing, there was rumblings about the players starting their own league. NFL players have been making a ton more dough the past while than NHL players, so they could do the same.
if the owners re-started the NFL with a bunch of second or third tier scabs, and the NFLPA started a league with all the cream of the crop, which would you watch? Personally, I'm a fan of the Denver Broncos second, and a fan of football first, so I'd go to where the highest quality football is.
bottom line, people need to stop swallowing what EITHER side is shoving down their throats. Both sides are lying ******** that don't give a single shit about us, the fans. both sides went into this fully expecting the previous CBA to expire with no deal done. Negotiations won't be taken seriously until August, n all likelihood.
don't be such suckers. the owners are lying scumbags, just like the players are. Bot sides just care about getting MORE and neither side deserves our support.
If not me, who?
