this is a good deal...of course the players will say no

they want LESS games and more cash

owners should push for reduction in guaranteed contracts

players should push for big increase in salary cap & expanded rosters

and get rid of the Thursday game...just injuries waiting to happen

if players balk, replace them

Replacement players is about the NFL's worst nightmare. It would send advertisers fleeing and TV partners suing the league or attempting to break the TV deals. You found the one thing the NFL is petrified of, replacement players.

Not that simple.

There are some genuinely bad provisions in this agreement, the 17th game being one of them.

What really strikes me funny though is that the 17th game was already unpopular among players and then the owners throw in something like this?

Slick move :eyeroll:

Just a negotiating tactic.  Always ask for more than you really won't.  Throw in something that will be outlandish and use to as a bargaining chip for what you really want.

NFLPA Executive Committee votes 6-5 against recommending CBA proposal to membership
 

Quote

That’s just a recommendation and the 32 player reps are also expected to hold a vote Friday. That will also serve as a recommendation as the NFLPA will submit the proposal to the full membership whether or not the player reps vote in favor of the deal.

If more than 50 percent of the membership votes for the proposal, the deal will be approved.

FYI: Our rep is Greg Van Roten.

Florio pointed out that the proposal isn't typically sent for a vote to the rank and file unless the Executive Committee recommends it, but Player Association leadership is sending this one to the members anyway.

It's starting to sound like some of the Players Association brass want this agreement even though the members seem largely against it.
