A higher cap means those team can keep more of their higher talented players, which is fair to the lower cap teams.

That is too funny. The owners really won in this labor deal that’s for sure and I’m sure their people saw it coming and now there just trying to avoid a player revolt.

The NFLPA is just looking for some gimmicks to try to make it look like they didn’t get slammed as badly as they did.

Can you imagine buying health insurance for professional football players? That is a high risk pool of needing all manner of surgeries, CAT scans, MRI scans….

It will get better the sooner they cash in on the league popularity and sign record setting TV deals, but this is going to be a lean year.

Leave it like it is.
