It shouldn't fly with the players, either. No one is tuning in to watch the owners.

The date to tag players has been moved back several days by agreement of the owners and players. This is in response to the players' vote on the new CBA, which the owners want to occur before tag day.
Drafts are like snowflakes, no two are alike.

Via the Chicago Tribune and The Athletic:
- Minimum salaries for players with less than one year of experience jump about 20% to $610,000 this year and would top $1 million by 2030, ESPN reported. Other minimum salaries see similar increases.
- The new CBA increases game-day active rosters by two players to 48 and practice squads from 10 to 12 initially and 14 by 2022.
- It reduces preseason games from four to three once the 17-game season starts, reduces padded training camp practices from 28 to 16 and caps training camp practices at 2 ½ hours.
- The players share of profits go from 47% to 48% of revenues in this deal, and the number goes to 48.5% when a 17th game is added and media revenues rise to a certain amount (and as high as 48.8% depending on those media deals).
- Over $2 billion will be funnelled into pensions for current and past NFL alum. If you played no more than 3 years in the NFL prior to 1993, you'll get $22,000/yr in pension by 2025.
- Disability metrics are being restructured to no longer use Social Security disability metrics to determine if players are eligible.
- The Commissioner's power in discipline to players has been dampened, as players will now face neutral arbitrators. Appeals will still go to the Commissioner.
- Restrictions will be in place on what sensory data (sleep patterns, etc) can be published/shared.
- Players get more leeway in doing their own sponsorship deals.

I love football, but was not in favor of 17 games. Taking away 1 pre season game in a nothing IMO. Most good players rarely play anyway. I have read where some of the vets are not too happy with it passing. What I heard reported, it was a pretty close vote, I have not checked yet.

The 17th game is an additional game check, so it balances out a bit. I don't know how things will work with byes, either.Otis Day wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 4:58 pm I love football, but was not in favor of 17 games. Taking away 1 pre season game in a nothing IMO.
