Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 866714">Here's a detailed summary of the key changes courtesy of Graziano, surely more digestible than the CBA document:<a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28820662/nfl-cba-proposal-players-voting-deal-plus-biggest-changes" target="_blank">https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28820662/nfl-cba-proposal-players-voting-deal-plus-biggest-changes</a>There are lots of new and interesting things coming our way, definitely worth reading all the way through.It does help explain why last year's $6.0 billion aggregate league cap did not come up to 47% of $16 billion in revenue.  It was clear that some expenses, but certainly not the majority, are excluded from the 47% application.  Evidently, stadium construction and renovation expenses are excluded, something along the lines of gross revenue minus capital expenses.  The bulk of expenses are operating expense.  This will continue with a  caveat noted in the piece.The discussion about holding guaranteed money in escrow, something I was not aware of or just forgot, is interesting.  The changes may lead to more guaranteed money in contracts...or not.</blockquote>
