Since we suck anyway.. Lock them out forever, bring in people willing to play for less.. put together a new contract structure.. and go for it.. the league would suck for a couple of years.. but eventually the good football players would want to get paid to play, even if its not as much as it is now.
then guarantee them health insurance.. retirement plans..etc... I know I'll get flamed so flame away

The good players would form their own league and the NFL would come begging. See "American League." |

#1 Where would they get the money to do so? #2 WHERE exactly will they play? In what stadiums? #3 The NFL is a POWERFUL brand that transcends individual players. |

this would require the players to actually be involved in running the business and 90% of them want no part of that.
