Re: Ongoing CBA discussions

The salary cap is attached to the revenue of the NFL, so as it goes up or down the salary cap and floor adjust. However, for any individual team if the NFL revenue goes up, but their revenue tightens (note I didn't say go down) they may see a larger percent of their team's budget taken up by players salaries.

Most of this dispute is between how much the owners want to revenue share. In the extreme, it is possible that one team's player expense might only be 45% of their total revenue, while another team may have a figure closer to 65%. No one knows these exact numbers, and I think the owners don't want to show their books simply because the players would then be able to pit team against team and take the emphasis off the specific percentage the players are getting.
