Micah and Ceedee are to blame as well

Look at how the Eagles, Chiefs and Ravens are structured. It’s feasible
Difference is these teams are willing to let players go and flip guys for future resources, and they have actual GMs who can appropriately structure contracts. KC was willing to deal Tyreek Hill for picks to better the defense and be able to have the cap space to fill out the Oline. They also locked up Mahomes to a decade long deal which gives them a ton of flexibility to move money around as needed and as the cap goes up they actually get ahead on the deal. Eagles will be interesting to watch as the Hurts contract becomes real money, however they had the foresight to lock up Hurts to a 5 year deal with 4 void years built in to kick money into. They also utilize the down years they have with premium draft picks to trade back and maximize value....when teams like the Cowboys and Giants have top 5 picks they draft running backs. It's feasible, you're 100% correct, but not with how this front office is operating.

That's what the league has turned into. This isn't the 70's or 80's any more. The players no longer play for the love of the sport like they used to do in the past.

If the NFL ceases to exist one day, and I won't care if it happens, the players will be the one to blame.
Yeah, they should just wreck their bodies for your enjoyment, make the owners and broadcasts money hand over fist and expect nothing in return.

Great take.....

I totally disagree. The players are only seeking their share of the pie. A piece the owners have no issue paying an agreed portion.

The money is there because the fans are providing it. We don’t have any problem with the owners , the networks , the sponsors and all related making billions .

Don’t carry the FO’s water for them. They can afford to pay all those players.

Huh? Don't you understand the money they make off of merchandise has no effect on the team's salary cap?
Right. Just like Stadium sponsorships aren’t included in players shares.

The players share is based on TV deal and ticket sales .

Owners don’t even have to share parking, concession , stadium and all sponsorships or merchandise sales.

Fans get so emotionally worked up in winning championships that they lose sight that the NFL is a business first .

Salary Cap was established to control owners spending ensuring Parity in the league .

The priority is everyone making money. Duhhhhh

Huh? You do understand that to pay the salaries you have to pay the signing bonuses. The Cowboys have cash to spend. Dak has all his money the Cowboys paid his bonuses same with Zach. The Cowboys have the cash to pay players. They are using the same excuses they used since Dak has been here in you guys continue to believe that crap. I remember when Zeke held out. We gotta save money for Dak and the other guys coming up. The Eagles seem to sign every free agent they want. They have a high salary quarterback, wide receiver, running back and defensive end. Stop the excuses.

The Jones family are trying to be tight with money, in order to save to have enough for Micah and Ceedee. We put a lot on our QB wanting to be paid, well it's on these two guys as well!

Justin Jefferson rejected 30 million, what would Ceedee be asking for. Micah mentioned the longer we wait the more expensive it will be! What are we to do!???
This is no ones fault but the front office.

They players should not have to apologize for getting paid.

They would probably get huge deals anywhere they go, I just don't know if it is the right path for this team to go down given its current position.

So only the owners should make money? Are you kidding?
