48-48.5% split (roughly) between 1,700 players. 52-51.5% split among 31 owners?!...Yet this equation is supposed to make sense.*♂️ Not to mention the .5% only happens if we agree to an extra game a season. #KnowYourWorth https://t.co/v1jNZG7ml9

The NFLPA executive committee voted 6-5 NOT to recommend the current CBA proposal, source said. That is simply a recommendation, though. It now goes to the 32-man board of representatives.

The executive committee is the group that is responsible for negotiating the deal. It is led by NFLPA president Eric Winston. Some members, including VPs Russell Okung and Richard Sherman, have voiced opposition to the deal. But the 32 player reps carry the hammer. Talks ongoing.

Anybody wanna talk #CBA negotiations? There are a lot of over-simplified takes floating around this website. Happy to lend my experience to the discussion for a few minutes if anybody cares. This must be doctors feel like when talking to a patient who spent all morning on Webmd

Nothing in life is free. Everything has a cost. Negotiations are not about fancy rhetorical tricks they are paying a price for what you want. In a climate where all unions in major American sports have taken steps back financially the NFLPA will be taking a step forward (cont.)

The price is high, exposure to another week of collisions. To get that without another game the cost would likely be a strike that will cost at least an entire season of games. Which for most players would mean ending missing out on a huge chunk of their lifetime earnings (cont,)

never getting it back. Sacrifices like that are what unions are built on, but it is sure hard to expect a player to do that.

Hearing NFL players are being told that there’s not much negotiation here. That this is the deal the owners are presenting and if they don’t take it, it’s strike/lockout next year. Billionaires are in a better position than millionaires. Do the players fold?
