I think rookie pay is WAY too high for kids that haven't played one snap...

I am sure that both sides are going to have tons of propaganda....sigh...I just want to have football on Sunday.

No it's pay in general, the players are fine with a rookie cap.

Basically right now in the agreement it says the players get 59% of the gross income of the league, that's how they set the cap.

The owners want it moved down to 43%, would you agree to that?

Also the thing that blows my mind is why fans always side with owners in these situations.
