I tend to agree tranny.
The owners are making money hand over fist. And while some football players have long careers, I think I read something in a Peter King column recently where he had some quotes about a HOF candidate who mentioned the average lifespan for a former NFL player is 58. Now I'd be willing to be a lot of that was the lack of helmets in the old days and some players through the steroid eras, but just looking at how beat up many of these guys get on every game day leads me to think that they do not deserve a pay cut.
Yeah, the owners are taking the risk, but there isn't much risk in a NFL franchise. The biggest seems to be if their profits will be huge or simply massive.
