I think they are both greedy. I can't say that I think one side is better than the other. But for the sake of the sport there are rules that the owners are trying to initiate that would make it more competitive and easier for a team on the bottom to become competitive now. You have a number 1 pick and its almost 70MM now. If it was 10MM they would not have a problem risking a bust and setting the franchise back 5 years. The players all just want more money (from what I heard, I could be wrong) and they already make so damn much money.
In the end, I am fine with the Bradys and Peyton Mannings making a shit ton of money. But your Cassels, Staffords and Sanchezes should be making far less. Do you think the Chiefs would have a problem drafting a QB with the number 5 pic if it was only going to cost them 15MM over 5 years if they player turns out to be a bust. As I stated before. Make a rule that after 3 years a team can renegotiate the original contract if they believe the player has played to expectations and give them their pay day. The only people this would hurt are the JaMarcus Russells of the world who bust and will never get a big time payday.
