New Director Voted In For NFLPA
ProFootballTalk.com - WINNER DECLARED: DEMAURICE SMITH
DeMaurice Smith is the new executive director of the NFLPA. Maybe this is progress towards signing the CBA. There could be a salary cap after all. Hopefully the Skins didn't bank on there not being one after this year.

Re: New Director Voted In For NFLPA
From what I hear they have a long way to go in too short of a time. Owners not happy with a CAP and at one end of the spectrum, the players not happy with the current CAP and at the other end of the spectrum. Perhaps in a couple of yrs.

Re: New Director Voted In For NFLPA
Just because you have a director now doesn't mean there has been ANY progress in the talks. We're still in wait and see mode.

Re: New Director Voted In For NFLPA
I hope his first action is to request an 18 month extension of the deadline so we don't go uncapped into 2010 and risk a lockout in 2011. An additional 18 months should give time for them to figure it out, but it likely won't happen.

Re: New Director Voted In For NFLPA
ProFootballTalk.com - SMITH ECHOES UPSHAW: ONCE CAP IS GONE, IT’S NOT COMING BACK
The new NFLPA director saying that if the salary cap goes it's not coming back. I love the salary cap and think that it is a great way to have parity in the league. I hate baseball as a whole but one thing that really irks me about baseball is that no matter what, everyone knows either the Yankees or Red Sox are going to the playoffs. I wouldn't like to see football end up like that. The Redskins and Cowboys could possibly become the Red Sox and Yankees of football.
