NFL players are partners with the owners like I used to be an associate owner at Wal-Mart…

hypothetically speaking – if the worst case scenario happens, couldnt any draft pick not sign with his team and re-enter the 2012 draft? Wasn’t that always the threat with Elway and Eli Manning when they threatened not to sign with their teams. They always had the option of sitting out a year and re-entering the draft. Couldn’t someone like Mallett or Bowers work hard over the next year to imporve their draft position. Maybe Mallett doesnt want to sit behind Brady for 5 years in NE.

What’s the difference between a leauge imposed hold-out and a rookie imposed hold-out? Nothing!

They could all sign ‘if they wanted’, but everyone’s afraid that someone might make 300k more than they will.

My question is how long will they hold-out once the lockout is lifted?

C’mon PFT, ask the real questions.

“they stand no chance of achieving anything near a “partnership” with the NFL again.”

“Again”???

They never were partners in the NFL except in the empty spaces of their own little minds. They were, they are and they will remain employees. Or unemployed.

i guess now being a fan of the nfl is kind of like going to law school. I really get to confirm my therory all along that our system really benefits lawyers. That get paid no matter what, and make all that much more the more it drags along.

Procedural. Nothing news worthy.

I am sure that if procedures were not followed Mr. Kessler would be in court arguing that all 2011 draft picks should now become free agents.

Oh I am sorry PFT only take blind shots at the NFL and the owners……

Anybody who does will be looked down upon. If the players can’t stand strong and united at this hour they stand no chance of achieving anything near a “partnership” with the NFL again.
