Pete Kendall Breaks Down the Owner's Perspective on Uncapped Season

[Dirtbag59]

Expressed another way, the NFL owners are asking that the players reduce their percentage of TR, as it is currently defined, from 58% to 47.56% of TR. This lowering of the cap by 10.44 points represents an 18% reduction in the applicable percentage. Expressed in dollars, a cap of $116 million per club as calculated under the existing definition of TR, would be reduced to $95.12 million under the NFL’s proposal. Thus, if the impact of the proposal were to be spread evenly over all player salaries and benefits across the league, each player would have to take a cut of 18% in salary and benefits.

Oh my God where do I sign up? Who doesn't want a more limited salary cap? As if it wasn't enough of a pain in the arse already.

But we should not and will not agree to pay for items such as expenses to operate practice facilities or for travel costs as the owners have included in this 18% proposal.

Would really like to get the owners perspective on all of this. Seems pretty unreasonable.
