So an unnamed player agent is saying there is no way this gets passed, players have no desire to agree to any deals until the new TV deals are done in a year because they think they should double in money. [Reply]

if they are getting a percentage of revenue why does that matter? [Reply]

Its the Chicken or the egg.
Owners think they can get more out of the TV deals is they have a ten year deal, and they are correct.
I think the players should come back and ask for more. The week 17 thing is odd, and I think can be easily fixed. And its a temporary issue anyway. I think they should ask for an extra bye week. That extends the season too, but helps if very team is traveling overseas for a game.
As for the profit sharing percentage, this takes them up to 48.5 percent, I have a hard time seeing them ever getting over 50 percent. So they need to realize that they need to do things that help the get the largest TV contracts. I'd make tweaks but I wouldn't fuck around too much with it. [Reply]
LOL and who pushed the notion it will get done? This cycle repeats itself every time. NFL leaks positive stories about the direction of talks. NFL leaks select details to make the deal seem like a no brainer. Players reject bad deal and NFL fakes umbrage so fans turn on players. https://t.co/6jkhSXVdNe
