i'd be interested to see what happens with no collective bargaining whatsoever. Just a salary cap and a draft. That's it, none of the the other crap, no mimimum salaries, so minimum amount allocated to players salaries.

We're constantly told that these players are "worth" all this money they get but if that's true, why do they require a union to negotiate them a an agreement that stipulates a mimumum you have to allocate toward salaries?

Are 10 year veteran 3rd string QBs that never see the field really "worth" the best part of a 900 grand a season or is that a figure inflated by the union's collective action? Are UDFA really worth 325 grand a yar or is that the same deal?
