If the rank/file players in the NFLPA were smart, they'd look to get a handle on some of this and perhaps see if there could be ways to create max deals for certain position groups and/or carveouts for QBs.
Otherwise this is only going to get worse for them.

just like the latest baseball deal. The everyday players allowed the players with the $100 million contracts to dictate terms friendly to them. They need to do something about the spiraling salaries or the players on the low end are going to see their low end and opportunities shrink even more.
