MAJBobby Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 there are some indications that the owners did negotiate a bit on the 17th Game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 An extra game is more damaging than a pro rata calculation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 This seems like a very short-sighted act by the players. I don't see anything in the new CBA about post-career healthcare. I see a significant drop in padded practices, more days off and more money due to the 17th game. NFL owners "negotiating" with players is like Kramer competing in a karate match against a 9-year-old. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVilanch Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Great news for fans, seems like the players might be screwed after their careers are done though. Nice to not have a lockout looming over the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Wow, I can't remember as seamless a transition to a new CBA in the NFL. Kudos to both sides for getting it done. Of course, all of the bags of cash coming in made it easier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 This was a sticking point at one point. Seems owners tabled the 18th game for at least 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I wonder if they stay with 4 preseason games and allow 53 active for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The only thing surprising from what Garafolo reported was a 9 home game one year and 8 games the second year. It was widely reported the 17th game was going to be a neutral site. I assume this might not be a detail worked out yet, and will change. This was going to happen for those not happy with this new deal. I know several don’t like the extra game or extra wildcard team, but they make a larger % of the pie up to 48.5% and the tv revenue goes up quite a bit. Given they will negotiate streaming, different network options and from ive read DTV won’t be exclusive anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Is the stipulation still in there about players only being able to physically play in 16 games, that at some point during the season they have to sit one out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 At this point the executive committee went to three pre-season games, and a little surprised this wasn’t a negotiating ploy and would have settled on two games and some competitive practices. No sitting out and none of the owners or players not to mention fans will go for that stipulation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Creation of new network of hospitals in each team city for former players to receive no cost physicals, preventative care, mental health counseling, and out-patient orthopedic services. Coverage of common surgeries to be phased in during course of deal." How many posters here were offered that before they were released or were retired from their last job? This CBA is the best deal the players have ever been offered. Edited February 26, 2020 by Mr. WEO 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O, I never said it wasn’t, but it is about $ on both sides and from the media as they make more $ too. Probably Labor Day to Presidents day. Not reported, just a guess.
