If Okung tries to hardball owners with his extreme stances, he will get blackballed like Winston/Kap did. They need to proactively counter instead of shout on social media. Don’t embarrass the owners - they will get cutthroat if need be.

And Okung needs to realize China does not own the NFL.

The NFLPA executive committee voted 6-5 NOT to recommend the current CBA proposal, source said. That is simply a recommendation, though. It now goes to the 32-man board of representatives.

It's not going to pass....

The executive committee is the group that is responsible for negotiating the deal. It is led by NFLPA president Eric Winston. Some members, including VPs Russell Okung and Richard Sherman, have voiced opposition to the deal. But the 32 player reps carry the hammer. Talks ongoing.

Anybody wanna talk #CBA negotiations? There are a lot of over-simplified takes floating around this website. Happy to lend my experience to the discussion for a few minutes if anybody cares. This must be doctors feel like when talking to a patient who spent all morning on Webmd

Nothing in life is free. Everything has a cost. Negotiations are not about fancy rhetorical tricks they are paying a price for what you want. In a climate where all unions in major American sports have taken steps back financially the NFLPA will be taking a step forward (cont.)

The price is high, exposure to another week of collisions. To get that without another game the cost would likely be a strike that will cost at least an entire season of games. Which for most players would mean ending missing out on a huge chunk of their lifetime earnings (cont,)

never getting it back. Sacrifices like that are what unions are built on, but it is sure hard to expect a player to do that.

This is kind of entertaining, it's crap on JJ Watt time.

Hearing NFL players are being told that there’s not much negotiation here. That this is the deal the owners are presenting and if they don’t take it, it’s strike/lockout next year. Billionaires are in a better position than millionaires. Do the players fold?

Actually I'm interested to see if the players have the balls to say no to the deal, history says they don't.

The JJ Watt video was completely anti what you just said by the way, I'm just posting info.

Actually the NFLPA has been fear mongering about it for awhile, we'll see if they dig their heels in or not.

I just don’t get the need for a 17th game outside of just “MOAR MONEY!!!!!”

Keep hearing on the radio that regardless of how the 32 team reps vote the vote will still go to all the players. If that is true, then this thing will be passed. The new CBA would help out the average player and allows more people to get paid.
