CBA: "I dont think we are making any progress."
Just said on NFLN that next year will almost surely be an uncapped year. No progress has been made since November.
Per NY Times. Seems the sides are still very far apart and no counter-proposals have been made from the PA to get it done. They want the owners to open up the books and that doesnt look like it will ever happen. Owners offered to extend current offer 6 years and players union is not cool with that says Jason La Canfora. |

Damn. Does no one involved in these negotiations realize that the salary cap and competitiveness of the NFL is one of the things that makes it so popular? That even in the midst of such a crappy stretch, Chiefs fans (well, some of us) have faith that it can get turned around soon because no one's going to come & buy Jamaal Charles or Brandon Flowers away from us?

They not only change the dynamics of negotiating between the league and players, but affect the dynamics bewteen the owners. If they (the owners) can't even agree amongst themselves, there's no way they can get an agreement in place with the union.

Yeah, I fear that it's not good that NFL teams are toys to a significant portion of owners. I guess I couldn't say for sure, but my instincts tell me that it's better to have a league of owners for whom the football team is their major asset. Eh, in retrospect that can't be many owners, though. It's not like the Hunts or Ralph Wilson built their wealth from football.

These owners today can only see the money they think they're losing by sharing revenue. They don't remember how the league struggled to gain a foothold among sports fans and how revenue sharing is largely responsible for creating the mega billion product that we have today.

I've lived through the 82 strike and the 87 strike. At that age, it bothered me to have my pastime stolen from me. At my current place in life, I'll considered it a gift of free time on Sundays. Go ahead and strike, I don't care. It just costs the players and owners money.
