What has happened to NFL owners by the way?

they got super rich when they took advantage of a very weak nfl players union who agreed to give up money in order to have less difficult off seasons and training camps.

Teams are getting these fines because they are violating the terms the union agreed to.

I wonder who turned them in.

Owners were already successful. News flash!

Less difficult offseason and training camps? Those poor athletes. The need definitely need more time off.

so this is new to you? Did you miss the labor issues of the past decade? The owners of course were successful you have to be brain dead to own an nfl franchise and not get insanely richer. They made a trade off with a weak players union and they came out with the upper hand.

seems that last statement is a dig on NFL players not working enough or hard enough as compared to say... a plumber or whatever...probably if i am reading your ideology correctly you think teachers are lazy and get to much time off also.

You are already rich if you own an NFL franchise buddy.

Teachers dont get paid 10 million dollars.

Probably some fine print about the length of each practice, they might have gone over by 5 minutes. Might be due to the labor agreement.

Per CBS Sports.com

The violations these three teams committed were not reported, but USA TODAY published that a "person familiar with the punishment" says the Jaguars were found in violation during a June 1 practice. Apparently the coaching staff did not instruct players to go through live contact work, but a few players reportedly "overextended into live contact."

Are you even a fan? You literally have a recipe to sabotage the coming season. That's all kinds of wrong, dude.

Big Cowboy fan. Not a fan of overpaid mediocre players. You can have Elliott, I'll take Pollard. You can have 6-sacks Lawrence, I'll take the young hungry players. You can have Jaylon Smith, I'll take Cox, Parsons, and some other young players who aren't afraid to tackle and have a clue as to what their assignment is.

Subtraction by subtraction. Yeah, good luck with that.

Haters are out in force.

You hate the NFL and the Cowboys so much so tell me, why do you watch? Or do you?

Could you imagine if this story was shown to any player or coach associated with the NFL 25 or more years ago? They'd collapse on the floor in laughter.

Listen, I'm all for the new player safety rules; especially since today's players are bigger, stronger, and faster than any in the history of the sport. But handing out six figure fines because a few players got a little physical in an off season workout just seems a bit excessive to me. Or maybe I'm getting older faster than I think.

 

[John813]

So, if players, on their own accord, went "too hard" in OTAs the team gets fined?

Is MM supposed to run out into the trenches blowing his whistle screaming to stop it?

Zeke gets a 6 game suspension.

Gregory suspended indefinitely.

8 Games would be better but I’ll take 6 games. Would save about $6M on the cap. Might trigger a contract clause voiding the whole contract.

I think that is true about suspensions voiding contracts.

I have a hunch pollard is going to be like every other backup RB we have had. If given the chance to step up he will spit the bit.
