Moot point as no free agency yet... :( Nice job owners and
players, way to suck the excitement out of the off season

We were talking about a theoretical choice. We all know the
labor agreement has expired.
Typically right after the draft teams try to sign players that
werent drafted to fill TC spots and ST spots but they cant even
do that which is very depressing.

So true. I mean, this time of year is traditionally kind of
slow for NFL news but this year the "meh factor" is at an
all-time high. My co-worker and I usually talked about the draft
for weeks leading up to it and this year we hardly discussed it
at all... before or since. Even PFT is sucking wind to find
content these days.
It also doesn't help that seemingly a day doesn't go by that
some NFL player isn't in the news for something legally releted
or just acting like a general tool. Lot of people I talk to seem
to think going a year without a six- (or seven) digit salary
might not be a bad thing to slap some of these thugs back into
reality. Unfortunately there are a lot of five-figure grunts
who don't play the game who would have tremendous hardship in
the event the 2011 season doesn't happen.

I've been reading where there are players out of money NOW. How
can that be? Don't they structure the contracts to get pd year
round? Didn't they think this could happen when the owners opted
out? Saw where somebody else got arrested. This is going the way
of boxing. I'm not going to watch if this keeps up. I mean it. I
haven't watched a baseball game in forever, I can do the same
for these clowns.

I'll watch as long as it is structured with a salary cap and a
salary floor. Any semblance to baseball and it won't ever hold
the same interest for me.

what is bad is if the players get what they want, to disban the
league, the top guys in the league will make more money and the
guys at the bottom less. Someone is selling these dudes bad weed
or something,.

Exactly if the players win you will have 5% of the players
making 90% of the money. The majority of the players will make
less then they do now and have less benefits.
