Is Jerry giving in?

[Cowboy Junkie]

Watching J.Jones interview on ESPN and I get the feeling that Jerry is giving in to what the lazy owners want .He looks tired and beaten and I really hope he stands his ground.

It is BS that teams like the Commanders get away with what they had with there cap games , also BS that Jerry's rewards for his hard work have to be shared , while these lazy unimaginetary owners take what he and some other good owners have earned...

Don't make Jerry out to be some kind of savior, here.

Jerry has been great for the NFL and the other owners know it..

And there is NO way he should have to share his local earnings...

I doubt it. He has to play the public relations game you know. He's probably as adamantly against revenue sharing as ever but he can't just say that to the press without suffering in the PR department.

I agree with what you say to some point and I think this is more about sharing than the caps stuff ..
AS a matter of fact I would guess that the Commanders are also a team holding out on this CBA stuff.
The Skins also do a good job of marketing themselves and should not be punished for such...

 

[DLCassidy]

Whatever. I just want this thing to be over.

As much as it would hurt the Commanders this year not to have a CBA extension...if Snyder is going to get screwed by revenue sharing he won't sign. He didn't sign last week when the vote was unanamious against the NFLPA proposal.

He sold his marketing company and has put everything he has into the Commanders. If his revenue is drained unfairly, it will be more important to him then a new CBA I believe.

I also want it over but the bad thing is if it ends tomarrow then FA is pushed back yet again and that sux

Thats exactly the point I am trying to make...
Half the teams have put much more into their organizations than the other half yet the Poor managed half want to reap the benefits of the ones that put their best foot forward....
The revenue sharing is much more important than one rough cap year

Another thing Riggo , Snyder dose not have to sign off for it to pass. they dont need all the owners to do so , thats why I hated seeing Jones like this tonight and I would have hated to see any other owner that might have swayed their vote to sharing

The truth will come in the voting. I want FA to start but my bet is they send back a counter proposal and delay it yet again rather then approve the draft in front of them.

 

[Ashwynn]

Who cares either way.

 

[Nors]

I think they reject it - kick it back to players and say now what ya going to do!

Whack all the players tomorrow night and let the rank and file know Upshaw just turned down +- $350M in 2006 Salary cap money that could have been allocated to the players.

Let them stew on it - shut down all negotiations till after draft. Let the players wiggle for 2 months and watch the draft of new blood into the ranks.


Man its good I'm not Tags right now!

 

[Crown Royal]

Yes, but even if they give up at 350 million this year, they are looking at an uncapped year next year - which, in the minds of some players, could mean more money than in ANY capped year.

As Adam clarified for me - an uncapped year also has no salary minimum. Nothing would stop the owners from slashing salaries and pocketing money. As is today there is a Salary min all teams must spend.

Now we could start a whole new collusion thread.....either way its uncertainty.

I don't disagree - thought about that too.

But if I'm a player, I think about it, and realize that the Jerry Joneses, Daniel Schnyders and several others are going to spend to save.

I mean, there's no minimum in baseball either - and those guys bank.

That being said - I still agree with Jerry - I don't want my ticket money going to Indianapolis (especially after, as an Arlington resident, I am investing my tax money in a stadium (yes I voted yes)).

Sheesh! He's not making Jerry out to be a savior. He's just *trying* to say that the other owners are very unimiginetary. It's hard to argue with his point.

"Unimaginetary"

Sounds like our old pal G.W.

Just kidding. Great post.
