Hopefully this means they’ll also be smart enough to start negotiating the next CBA before the 2021 draft.

I wish it was ” spread enough false rumors for a lifetime”, but we know that’s not the case.

Won’t bankrupt owners….it will bankrupt us with $300 replica jerseys,$50 parking,$25 beers and $400 end zone seats…..

Owners and players will keep sending us the bill until we walk away.

I understand getting a fair deal, but I have ABSOLUTELY NO SYMPATHY for either side. Owners are soo rich most of us cannot fathom there wealth. The players only care about themselves not each other. If the players cared about one another, then why not hurry the process to help out the undrafted players get into camp sooner so they could possible earn a roster spot?

What is different in what the players voted on today vs. what the owners presented to them on Thursday?

They get the $320 million?

That won’t happen. Less hitting in practice probably equals less concussions.

Plus it’s really only the linemen who really need it. Although, everyone gets surgery.

It’s also a choice.

They get so much revenue from the networks that I doubt it would bankrupt them, at least in the immediate future.

Good for the owners for sticking to their guns. For all the talk of the owners making last minute changes, the opt out was, in fact, a last minute change being sought by the PA, and not a minor one.

When I saw the original double-opt-out report I figured one side or the other would be opting out as soon as they were able.
