That's all well and good, but do they really think that they'll make MORE money without a cap?
Why shouldn't the players get 59% of revenue? Without them, there wouldn't be a National Football League. No players, no games, no revenue.
Franchises that were worth $100M 10 years ago are now worth upwards of $900M.
Owners can cry poormouth until they are blue in the face, the cap is the only thing keeping things competitive.
Without it, the NFL becomes MLB. Boring as **** because the large market teams can outspend everyone by 100% or more, and basically hire mercenaries.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't figure for the life of me why owners think they'd be better off without a cap, because if they terminate the agreement, that's what they're gonna get.
