It’s obvious they collude when it comes to fully guaranteed deals, so why don’t they get together and stop the “I want $1 more than the highest paid at my position just because I am next man up”. Micah wants to be paid more than JJ and Myles but isn’t better than either.

Pablo Torre will find out then they'll be done like the NFLPA guy.

But he is considerably younger than both.

Plus, that’s the way NFL contracts have evolved. There are tiers for every position. As long as a team considers a player on the top tier at that position, then they get top tier money.

Not blaming the player at all, but if the owners all agree to tell every player that they’ll get paid based on their performance not “next man up”. Micah should be paid a notch below Myles, but that ain’t happening

The NFLPA fired arbitrator Sidney Moreland on Wednesday, just months after he ruled against the union in a grievance concerning comments made by former NFLPA president JC Tretter, according to Sportico. The news comes the same week Moreland's ruling was obtained by journalists Mike Florio and Pablo Torre.


NFL & NFLPA agree to hide his ruling and he gets fired


quote:

On Thursday, Florio and Torre revealed the NFL and NFLPA worked to try and bury a ruling made by Moreland concerning players faking injuries as a strategy to receive a better contract.

The grievance stemmed from an appearance by Tretter, then the NFLPA president, on "The Ross Tucker Football Podcast." On the program, Tretter was asked about running back holdouts and the resistance from some teams about handing out significant deals to running backs.

Tretter responded by implying it was a smart strategy for a player to fake an injury to sit out of practices while seeking a new contract. He seemed to recognize his error during the show, saying, "I don’t think I’m allowed to ever recommend that, at least publicly, but I think each player needs to find a way to build up leverage to try to get a fair deal."

The NFL believed Tretter's comments violated the collective-bargaining agreement, and filed a grievance against Tretter two months after that interview.


quote:

It's unclear why both the NFL and NFLPA felt it was necessary to bury both rulings. In the case of the collusion ruling, the NFLPA would presumably want that information to go public. While the NFLPA lost that grievance, an arbitrator found some evidence of collusion within the league, a significant revelation.

In the case of the ruling unearthed by Florio and Torre on Thursday, the NFL had no reason to hide its results. The league ultimately came out on top in Moreland's ruling.

The decision adds another layer of confusion to the relationship between the NFL and NFLPA.

Then Micah holds out and isn’t happy… you’re being penny wise and pound foolish for no reason
