Twitter: NFL Agents and Players Colluding - Beating NFL Owners at their Game

[Jarv]

Fans complaining about how much any American is willing pay another American is SO UNAmerican.....

Whose your congressman? Does he deserve a raise?

 

[HanD]

And fans siding with Billionaire Owners never changes....pretty pathetic so UnAmerican

I'm not siding with anyone but don't say you don't play for money and weeks later back track and say it's for other players. Makes you look fake.

Id support him more if from the start he would just say I am taking care of me and future generations of my family. I'm getting all I can get. At least that's honest. It's like Reggie white saying he's waiting for God to tell him where to go in free agency. It's hog wash that no one believes. Why say you don't play for money? You think fans and media think that's real and want to hear that? We aren't dumb.

Dak Haters analogies are paper thin

Don't assume that everyone agrees with how you ( and most Dak Haters) characterize Prescott's statements.

Do you think Dak Prescott would still play football in the UFL or USFL if he had a Josh Rosen type career?

Funny how mahomes doesn't think he is under paid.... great QB we have here.... His next contract is for the people! Not him...

Again. I'm not a dak hater. I don't call you a dak apologist. The point is he gave conflicting statements in a few weeks time.

I don't care about Josh Rosen. You're drifting and redirecting.

The right balance can not be found in the current 11 year CBA agreement.

The Owners and Agents will play cat and mouse, one uppping each other.

The Owners took the RB Market and depressed it's earnings...

Agents took the RB depression and have created a Bubble for QBs, WR and top Lineman.

The fans traditionally side with owners because the NFL owns the traditional media.

No Salary Cap and New Media can change the paradigm



No Salary Cap is the Solution.

Fans and Players ability to remove Bad Ownership

These are my solutions

The current 11-year CBA agreement has its setbacks, but suggesting it can't achieve balance is overly negative. The relationship between owners and agents is delicate at best but manageable. The issues in the running back market are part of larger trends in player valuation, not merely owner manipulation. Agents raising salaries for quarterbacks, wide receivers, and linemen is a natural market occurrence. Us Fans' loyalty isn't just because the NFL controls traditional media; many of us understand and appreciate the business aspects of sports. Eliminating the salary cap is not a guaranteed solution. The salary cap is important for maintaining a competitive balance within the NFL. So making thoughtful adjustments and negotiations could more effectively address the imbalances.
