2021 i believe. I think the players should sit out until they get guaranteed contracts, theres no way they shouldn't have that when the owners make money hand over foot

guaranteed contracts would be awful in the NFL, they can get more without the guaranteed contracts.

I'm sure you would, but fully guaranteed contracts for most players NBA style isn't happening in the NFL.

every sport other than football has guaranteed dough, they would have to go to a softer cap but it can be done

They might start boycotting Thursday night games and letting NFL dock their paychecks.

They don't want to play in Pro Bowl and they don't want to play Thursday night games.

Guaranteed contracts would be a disaster. A player hits that big FA contract and would just become lazy

the nflpa is a joke they need a new director, there's no reason why a guy like tristan thompson should have way more guaranteed dough then aaron rodgers or cam newton

NBC's football coverage is far and away the best in the biz right now.
