stevenaa Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I keep hearing points that the owners gave in on, but nothing on what the players gave in on. Seems to have been rather one sided. I've heard talk that when the last CBA was agreed too, they purposely crafted it so that not extending it would be much more painful then working it out. The pain was supposed to be shared, but it doesn't seem so. Does anyone know if the Union compromised on anything, other than going from 60% to 59.5%?

Metalhead Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 My roomate and I were just talking about this. Upshaw repeatedly stated his number "started with a 6" and what, it ended up at 59.5 correct? The owners I believe started at around 56%....looks like Upshaw gave up virtually nothing from his stance. I may be wrong though, so many numbers were tossed around it was insane.

Bangee7 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 What is the definition of "revenue" now-a-days? Weren't the players asking for increased revenue (from all sources) ?? Wonder if they got their higher percentage AND the increased revenue stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash over Cap came down a lil bit, not sure how much. I think NFLPA started at 60.3, so they came down a few points. not sure what else they fell back on. Bu ti always thought they had upper hand.
