Handful of Owners Resisting Parameters of New Deal

[FRPLG]

If the low rev teams can't keep up then they need to sell their team and let it move where it can work in my opinion. Sorry but Ralph Wilson and Mike Brown do the bare minimum to market their team and generate revenue and I don't see why the other owners, the players or fans should suffer the loss of football because they are asshats. Let's remember...Mike Brown is no "Captain of Industry" he inherited the team and Wilson has run a virtual sweatshop for decades. Sorry but when the other 80% of the league is raking in cash and trying to advance the product and barnd I have no sympathy for those that are mucking it all up by half-assing it.

This is excellent news (from Schefter's FB Page):

"Adam Schefter
More at ESPN: If and when agreement is reached, all players with 4, 5 and 6 years of service are expected to be unrestricted free agents."

Fascinating news. It would have been very significant if players with three years were granted unrestricted free agency. A number of names in the 2008 draft would have been set to hit. Anyway, biggest name now on the market would have to be Sidney Rice.

I think the biggest name for the Redskins should be Paul Soliai, the NT from Miami. The guy is 27 years old, 6'4", 355 lbs and has played well in Miami. Here's the scouting report on him:

"He is a load at the point of attack. He is a short-area block gobbler at the nose tackle position. He is strictly a first- and second-down player in Miami's scheme. He has zero sacks in his first three NFL seasons. He is a player who is a load at the point of attack. He plays with good leverage. He shows first step explosiveness getting into blockers. He uses his hands well to discard and make plays in line. His limitations are rushing the passer and making plays outside the A gaps."

Miami did use the Franchise Tag on him. Now, we don't know that it will still apply, but I think that is an indication that Miami isn't letting him go without a fight.

I thought they had tendered him since the league was still under 2010 rules...but yeah from this article it seems that they used the franchise tag. Ugh. Maybe we can get Franklin?

48% sounds good to me. Im guessin they are going to agree to something in this ballpark so why not make it happen in the next few weeks instead of fighting for the next few months over a percent or 2.

[hooskins]

1-2 percent would be hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?

You mean millions right? Fighting for 90-180 MILLION is probably worth it to both sides.

Is the bottle 48% full or 2% empty?

[over the mountain]

If its 9 bil, 1% is 9 mil dollars. (i hope, geez that BA in accounting was worth it)

If the league makes a profit of 18 bil (or was it 16 bil in the article?) in 2016, youre talking 18 mil per percent point.

Yeah 9 to 18 mil is alot in a vacuum of perspective, but consider the total dollar amounts, both parties have to lose alil to gain alil imo.

1% of 9 billion is 90 million. But your point is good.

Local tailors are going to need a lot of cloth to introduce this years free agent class. C Jenkins, A Franklin, D Joesph. How sweet it is.
