The Start Of Free Agency To Be Delayed? (CBA Extension Talk)

[rjs246]

I'm pretty sure my imagination can do a lot better than that, dude.

[ice grillin you]

after the regular season ends and before free agency starts should be a dead period in terms of signing players

[SunMo]

make sure to present that idea at the next league meeting.

He actually pokes fun at the skins a little (obviously tongue-in-cheek, but still...)

Yes, this was already posted by a skins fan on the Point & Laugh thread, but who ever reads the last post on a page?

I thought they put him on waivers. Doesn't he have to clear first?

Waivers are for players WITH LESS THAN 4 YEARS IN THE LEAGUE.

FINE!

[SunMo]

FINE!

caps lock and exclamation point.  YOU WIN!!

Meanwhile, expect another delay (notice I didn't caps lock "another" to emphasize the point) to FA if the owners agree to the union's proposal. If the owners disagree, there will be no more negitiations per the union.

Representatives of the owners and the union met yesterday in New York to put the players' proposal into writing. Upshaw said afterward that there would be no further negotiations between the two sides and free agency will begin as scheduled Thursday if the owners reject the proposal. If the owners ratify the proposal, Upshaw said, the salary cap deadline and opening of free agency would be pushed back by a day.


And per the Denver Post, the Eagles are interested in Mike Anderson--but I think it's pre speculation on their part, as they also say the Txans "could" look at Jeb Putzier.

Jerrah Jones on NFL Network last night basically said that from what he knows about the new proposal, it sucks for both the lower-revenue owners and high-revenue owners.  It was easy to tell he wasn't very happy at Tags for agreeing to bring it to the owners, because it's apparently a warm bucket of elephant piss.

FINE!

simple. yet laugh inducing.

according that that it sounds like he is pissed that they are trying to keep all teams equal.  As if parity has hurt the league so far.   Get another face lift Jonesy.

Not really.  I forgot add that he also mentioned how difficult Upshaw has been to deal with, and it just seemed like he was exasperated and pissed that Tags would cave so much.  He also downplayed the rift between the owners, saying that it's nothing compared to the rift Upshaw and his team have created.

I wish I could find the actual quote somewhere.

yummy.

what time does the owners' meeting start?  the mental image of this meeting i get is the scene from The Godfather where the heads of the five families sit down together.  Jeffy and Danni are sitting in their chairs while Joe Banner and Vinnie Cerrato are behind them, pulling out their chairs and filling up their water.

I, too, don't believe in greater revenue sharing.  In my proposal, we'd keep the revenue sharing to the lower revenue generating clubs - they're animals anyway, so let them lose their souls.

The meeting theoretically started 10 minutes ago.
