[QUOTE="Packerfury, post: 301555, member: 1960"] It's the owners fault mostly. In the last CBA, they let the players have too much. But you guys don't understand, players get screwed really really hard after they retire. And you have to realize the majority of players aren't starters. They aren't those guys like peyton manning who make ten mil+ a year. Players risk their body and get no compensation for it. You would think if you get hurt on the job, that your employer would pay for it. workmen's comp right? Not so in the nfl, there are many retired nfl players who are in dire need of surgery due to their body's constant beating after they retire, and the NFL WON'T pay for it. Not to mention a lot of even the high profile guys aren't making all the money they are supposed to. Teams load the back end of players' salaries and renegotiate or drop the player before they get paid causing the players to not see their money. Retirement really really sucks as well. I don't know the exact term, but they don't get much when they retire. But at the same time players get (I believe) 60% of the teams annual imcome. That is a ton of money and probably is a little too much! But it's what the owners agreed to in the last cba. Think of it this way, if you were working at your job and your boss came up to you and said, hey I want you to do the same job next year, but for less money, how would you take it? Not well, I know I wouldn't. Oh, and one more thing the nflpa wants to get established is the rookie salary cap. That alone would solve quite a bit of problems. A top 5 pick is a lot of money. Money that could be spread around to players who've been around and who deserve it. [/QUOTE]
