Owners approve new CBA

In!

Glad that we likely aren’t getting a work stoppage.

Hate the proposed terms though.

Dont the players have to agree? Or did they already?

So the NFLPA still has to approve.

This is looking like a power move to put the onus on the players.

LOL. Yeah, no shit the owners agree...it was their idea.

That's how votes usually work.

Hopefully Clark Hunt was on the nay side.

Since his team might be the one hurt the worst by the new playoff rules.

I know Al Davis used to always vote against the majority. I wonder if bowl-cut is following suit.

SHIT

I would think he votes for whichever scenario gives him a larger salary cap so he can have a better chance to keep Chris Jones.

Pretty sure Clark wanted more playoff teams a couple years ago. Plus he gets more money.

He absolutely voted yes.

This. Judging by how “hopeful” the NFLPA was with the proposal earlier this week, I think the owners are attempting to make the players look guilty for any drawn out agreement.

Wonder if the terms will be released before the NFLPA votes on it.

I doubt if the NFLPA agrees to the new cba.

If they turn it down there's going to be a work stoppage.

I think they will

5 billion is a lot of money

Player reps from the league’s 32 teams will do a conference call tomorrow. They will vote and if they get a 2/3 in favor, it goes to the league wide membership. It only needs a simple majority for approval from them.

I think it passes. No one wants to kill the golden goose.

The new playoff rule and 17-game schedule are dumb.

Just double up the Monday night package like they do opening week. Switching 16 games to prime time would be worth more than 17 additional Sunday afternoon games.

Also, you could limit the Thursday night package to the center of the season to correspond with the byes and have those be your international games (when teams have more time to get there and back). Make them bigger games with the same price tag for 10 games plus opening night.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">How would players be compensated for a 17th game if they signed contracts based on a 16-game schedule?

Why would players ever agree to that

Chiefs player rep is Dustin Colquitt with Patrick Mahomes as the alternate.

Players will eventually agree no matter what.
Jocks are a dime a dozen. They like their 6 and 7 digit paydays. They can't beat billionaires no matter how hard they try.

So our two mvp are repping the chiefs nice!

I agree when it goes to player vote it will pass. A lot more average players in league then stars. They will love the Minimum Salary increase.

Double MVPs!!! Pat should agree to it tho. Sooner it gets agreed to sooner he gets paid. Once the deal is signed I expect a deal to be down for Mahomes before he even has time to fly from New York to KC

Hopefully their planes crash into each when leaving.

If the players agree to that they are dumb

Not sure it means that much to highest paid players.

Total guaranteed $$
Signing bonus
Money up front

Imagine that’s what they care about most

Not a chance in hell the players would agree to this.

You be surprised, a lot more players that are on the bubble then stars will agree to anything.

A lot of slandering is going to happen toward the players to turn us against them like always.

Yes, the players make a lot of money. They also work their asses off.

Many of the owners were born with a silver spoon shoved up their ass. They are some of the greediest pieces of shit to ever walk the Earth.

REMEMBER THIS WHEN TAKING SIDES.

That’s a terrible deal for any of the guys making well above $250,000 per game...especially guys who signed pretty new contracts.

More than they make for a playoff game.

Playoffs are all about your legacy. Regular season is all about getting paid your fair share.

Yeah anyone making over $4 million a year makes over $250,000. What a load of shit. They have to be trolling with that bullshit.

These are the people that have to agree to it first.

I can't imagine them agreeing to it as is.

There will be some clarification and changes and hopefully be approved.

It is a good sign that they are this close though.

They wouldnt. Gives the owners something to give up when the players come back with approval except for these changes.<iframe scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.7303c29a8108bca4ac5c9ef008ed8164.html?origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chiefsplanet.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;" frameborder="0"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium none;" title="Twitter analytics iframe" frameborder="0"></iframe>

The 17th game won't start for at least 2 years. I would say that the majority of existing contracts will be up or almost up by then. Out of those that will still be under contract, most won't be making more than that anyway. The number of players affected is small enough that it shouldn't be a factor.

18. LOS ANGELES RAMS - Todd Gurley

Lol seriously? This guy can't think his way out of a paper bag.
He'll vote how ever the nfl tells him to.
Same with most of the players on the list.

So a bunch of moves are gonna happen if it’s agreed to?

Mahomes extension incoming? :hmmm:

I’ve never understood this. If every team has more cap space, can’t they just offer more too? It’s like when minimum wage jumps, prices have to go up too.

Catching balls for a living isn't remotely working your ass off.
They make too much money already for such trivial entertainment accomplishments.
Get back to me when they wash dishes for a living for a lousy boss. That's working your ass off. This is cake.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Notable point many seem to be missing: This applies only to contracts negotiated before the 17th game is instituted, which is likely years away, so it&#39;d ultimately impact a fraction of players.

The only thing keeping KC from locking up Jones potentially is a lack of cap space. I would think that if they are given that space, it will be much easier to reach a deal. They still have franchise tag leverage.

There are some intelligent people in this group that will help lead.

It would not be the NFL telling him how to vote. It would be the NFLPA that would do that.

Lol, try trolling elsewhere bro.

Those 2 situations are not the same. You don't understand how having more cap space would help us sign Jones? How do you not understand this?

Lol id like to see your fatass follow around one of these guys and see if you could keep up. You're not as special as your mom says you are.

We simply disagree about what's important in reality.

As I said, who cares? Whether I can, has nothing to do with it.

Actually you both have a valid point.

Short term and what Chiefs need, we should have more money to sign players.

Long term it will catch up like prices and minimum wage.

It also means all the other teams have more $ to spend and could still out price KC.

Lol the nflpa is no challenge to the billionaire owners who allow the players the privilege of playing for money. Theyll do what ever the big boss tells them, in the long run

Interesting

True if it is an open market and all teams get to bid on Chris Jones. We have him though and hopefully we can agree on value without teams saying well we would pay you $23 M per year. That would be tampering.

You also hope that Chris Jones wants to be a Chiefs and will be happy with a good $$ contract.

This last season:

Chiefs, 49ers and Titans played 19 games
Packers, Texans, Seahawks, Vikings played 18 games
Ravens, Patriots, Saints, Eagles, Bills played 17 games.

I think 17 game season can be executed in a way that does not measurably impact the overall health of players.

They are gaining about 5 billion more dollars for their share. They also get their benefits a year earlier. Those are some pretty strong points to agree.

I think Al Davis abstained from casting a vote the majority of the time as a NFL owner.

Free agency is going to be ‘litty titty’.

litty-titty. adjective ; compounding. Used to describe an event that is exciting and enjoyable. A departure from an existing definition of lit, which carries the implication of intoxication. The -ty suffix on lit does not appear to be meaningful

Yeah, I had to look it up. You kids and your hip and happening new slang lol.

The new CBA doesn't increase the number of roster spots enough though. The roster should have 65 players for 17 games.

**** no. It should stay the same just allow all to dress for every game.

Why? More roster spots would allow teams to develop more players increase the talent level league wide over time. Teams need more depth now, 17 games will increase that need even more.

Agreed. It’s one extra game.

It will be interesting to see what the terms will be.

I read that a much more lenient drug policy testing will be part of it -

Because the back end of the rosters are already crap players.

Did they increase the roster size at all?

That's the team's fault, they don't have to be crap. There's no downside to having a bigger roster if teams work hard to find players worth developing.

I heard a rumor of 3 spots but not sure.

President - Eric Winston "The ownthers propothal is sickthening and disguthing"

You must hate the XFL or you are hoping for an XFL roster spot.

This is a little dated because it came out before the owners agreed but it has some good information.

would just be 21. you still have 3 weekends of playoffs and 1 super bowl.

All kinds of stupid in this cba proposal. This is going to fulfill mark Cuban's prophecy.

We need Mahomes’ BFF on this team damn it!!
