It's a bad time to be a #2 seed. You have to play a 17th game AND you have to play round one of the playoffs. That's two extra games you have to play.

$5B if split evenly would be around $3M per player per year. I would think they would easily agree to this.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Expanding on this, and as we reported a couple of weeks back, the players&#39; share of revenue under the new deal could go even higher than that 48.5 percent depending on how much revenue is generated from the new TV deals.

That’s just part of the upcoming cap explosion and why I’m advocating keeping Jones on a long term deal this offseason.

In 2 years, it will seem like a huge bargain.

5b / 32 teams = 156,250,000 per team

I thoroughly disagree.

In November 2018, I had bi-lateral micro-decompression of my L2/L3, L3/L4 and L4/L5, which is the long way of saying that I had surgery for Spinal Stenosis.

I took Tramadol, which is an extremely potent opoid, for 3 days. Not only was I completely and utterly constipated, and spent 8 hours one night bleeding out my ass due to the effect of the opioid, I was in massive pain.

On Day 4, I flushed the Tramadol down the toilet and began taking 40mg's of edibles, Nugs to be exact, to combat the pain. It was like a miracle drug, I shit you not. I didn't get "high", because the pain was way too intense but I felt SO much better AND after a few days, resumed normal bathroom activities.

I have no idea what it feels like to play in the NFL but it's difficult for me to believe that THC won't help manage their pain.

So it being three years since the thread was started, what are the odds that there's a work stoppage looming in 2021 now?

The same as they were in 2017: Zero

Keep Watkins too

Absolutely.

I'd love to see a restructured deal where he's given a 2 year, $24 million dollar deal with $12 million guaranteed.

Throw in some incentives for year two and go...

Hell guarantee 14 so it doesn’t look like He’s giving money away

That works, too.

:thumb:

I'm of the opinion that he's more valuable than his stats would make him appear.

Great lockerroom guy, ultra-talented, ultra-competitive, still young AND he's a champion.

And so god damn good with the ball in his hands...

Agreed

Nah.
