Some further details of the new CBA have also leaked out:

It will be a ten year agreement, which means we won't have to deal with this garbage again for a decade. The Players will receive between 46.5% and 48%, with some other provisions about TV contracts and new stadiums.

Less OTA days (from 14 down to 9), and only 3 of those 9 days can they use Helmets.

Also two-a-day practices are no more, but teams can have a walkthrough in shorts if they'd like. The Colts did this several times last year, most of the time in the morning during Training Camp.

Yea well I'm 25, so if this keeps happening for a decade each, I'll have to put up with this ****, for what, six more times? This lockdown never should have happened in the first place. They need to think more like Pat Tillman and less with their wallets.

Totally agree with you. This NFL lockout reeks of greed

Hey I'll be 58 on the 28 th and I expect 4-5 more times, you will have many more especially with the advances in medicine that will come along in your lifetime , they say the person who may live to 1000 may already have been born or may soon enough, Now that's taken it pretty far & forgot what medical journal I read it in but believe me with expected advances with all the modern tools at hand to use to develop new therapies etc & those tools yet to come along u will live beyond 100 unless family has a genetic issue or u have a severe accident etc

I firmly believe that too

Sounds about right including the ten year time frame. Very nice.

And......of course the political climate might get tested again by the two sides ten years or more down the pike. Naturally. Nobody knows who will be sitting as judges then, evolution of the game, etc. That's just how things are. The two entities involved are comprised of many people with many voices, and there will never be a consensus on either side (e.g. big market owners vs. small market and the Pat Tillman's of this world vs. the faces of the "cause"). Might as well adjust to reality or you (meaning anyone) will be a sourpuss of a fan for years to come.

    • You know who is also kicking better?   Chase McLaughlin.   
    • Not trying to over simplify but it is pretty simple. SS calls plays that he believes will work against a certain defense and he has confidence his players will execute that play. The results right now are that his players are NOT capable of executing those plays on a consistent basis enough to win games. The only question moving forward is, do we have good enough players to start to execute more consistently or not and is SS making it as easy as possible for players to be consistent. It's not just a talent thing. It's a attitude and smart thing and then the level of talent. Most of the time, the best players are the smartest players with the right attitude. How talented they are is a bonus. My point, i question our teams attitude and football intelligence as much as I question their talent. Ex.....Stopping the run is as much attitude as it is talent. A big part of why JT is JT, is because of his intellegence.
    • Thanks for the updates.  I made my "first pass" projected picks based on where the players are ranked on tankathon right now.  Obviously, subject to change!
    • He hasn't  been that good other than the 1 game he won last year.
    • The biggest problem is that the rest of the team is playing like trash around the rookie QB.    Of course the essentially rookie QB that has played 6 NFL games is going to be a rollercoaster.  He's known to have accuracy issues, and is for some reason being forced to be a pocket passer.    When the highest paid O-line in the league can't block, that's problem.  When the WR's can't catch passes that bounce off their hands, that's a problem.  When the highly invested in $$ D-Line (like 5 1st or 2nd rd players) can't block and LB's get consistenly washed, that's a problem.  When the highest paid kicker in the league can't kick and gets hurt constantly, that's a problem.  When the defensive scheme is to "bend not break" but the bends are to the tune of 100 yards a series, that's a problem.   Now's the time to strike in other areas while you have a QB on a rookie contract. Actually, this all should've been figured out already by the GM and all positions should've been rock solid by now.
