Beerball Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Ralph is not going to be at the owners meetings next week in Orlando, but he continues to be vocal about the new CBA. This from USAToday. Ralphie linky Go down the page a little, on the right you'll see Bills owner denounces deal. Got to give the guy credit, he's not afraid to stick to his guns. This new deal is worse than the one we had," said Wilson, not attending the owners meetings in Orlando this week. "You want labor peace, but you also want a fair deal." "The owners panicked," Wilson said. " Wonder who will attend the meetings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 ONLY a $100 million difference between the bills and skins? That's actually not that bad, considering the numbers the NFL deals with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Anyone have any links to what the CBA entails specifically WRT revenue sharing? I had an argument with someone who claimed that the top-15 teams would be bankrolling the ENTIRE $850-900M the players would be getting over the next 5 years, while I said that at best it was going to be $30M a year.

Try being known around the league as a winner, not a whiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE, they are separate deals. CBA between players and owners and revenue sharing between the owners only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBA between players and owners and revenue sharing between the owners only. 645713[/snapback] AFAIK, and to over-simplify, the CBA specifies what percentage of "league revenue" goes to the players (what amounts to the cap). I know what consitutes "league revenue" was a sticking point in the CBA talks, and further, the smaller market teams felt they needed "revenue sharing" concessions in order to be able to still be reasonably profitable under the new cap. There were also concerns over the larger market, larger revenue teams having a larger pool of cash for "cash over cap" (capability to make large outlays of bonus money...). It's all very related, as the CBA works to define not only how much money the players get (salary cap), but where it's coming from (revenue share/"cash over cap pool")....
