By aka Espi Go To PostWhy does the NFLPA hate the players?
2040 CBA gonna stipulate if your team doesn’t make the playoffs, you don’t get paid
Because the PA sucks.
It doesn't help that the average career is short as hell, so you're going to have a lot of lower level players not eager to fight ownership, because by the time the fight is over they're long out of the league anyway.
I broke this down on FootballGuys. Basically ends Curtis Samuel as a deep threat (they may trade Samuel now) and depending on how they view him, Robby could be the new 1B receiving threat.
oh no they cant ask if players are gay or if their moms are prostitutes anymore
teams already cant draft for shit when they do have all this information but i guess now they can just say they are uninformed instead of stupid.
Combine... dude is a 220 pound, ripped WR who runs a 4.4 40 on tape
by draft dude will have gained 25 pounds and STILL get drafted in the 1st round.
To be real, small school athletes have been sending scouts/GMs workout mixtapes for decades. The only thing that changed is the volume of people doing it and the format. The scouting/tech for some of these teams is so old school they have to outsource that shit.

In a flurry of COVID-19 related updates on Tuesday, the NFL said it was hoping to release the regular season schedule no later than May 9, and that it will aim for "virtual programs" for offseason activities.
The league also announced its socially-distanced guidelines for draft rooms, mandating that "no more than 10 people in every room," and that everyone must be at least six feet apart. Some states have banned gatherings even that large, though we assume the NFL will be allowed to look the other way. The NFL has yet to formally cancel OTAs, but the "virtual programs" announcement is an acknowledgment they are not going to happen. The NFL is insisting that it has yet to consider contingencies to a normal regular season, though obviously the talks have to be happening behind the scenes.
The NFL has officially expanded the postseason to 14 teams for the 2020-21 season.Once the actual football league year starts I'll make the 2020 thread.
Each conference will now have a third wild card with only one team getting a first round bye. No. 1 seeds already had a staggering advantage. It will now be even more daunting. While studies have shown hardly any losing teams would have qualified for the postseason under this format over the past 30 years, it is still wholly unnecessary. Sixth seeds are already quite frequently barely worthy of the postseason tournament. That being said, more football is more football.
I might be overly pessimistic, but I'll believe there will be a football season when I actually see it. Based on an interview I saw with Dr. Fauci from 2 days ago, even if this goes away over the summer, he expects it to be back in the fall & winter. I can't see how a season ends even if one begins, unless there are medical breakthroughs between now and then, or if we do a better job of containment (note: Trump will not do a better job of containment).
Yeah, dude up 30 with a minute to go, I might tell him to go fuck himself, too. That's just lame & rude.
If he was up 3 and it was like 15 seconds left, yeah, do what you gotta do to win. I'd respect it.

Watched most of the replay of the Rebirth Saints game on ESPN. I had a good, hard cry at the beginning, not gonna lie. Some good, some bad memories. Eventually just started remembering all the good times and the tears became happy tears.
Hopefully, the symbolic form of returning to normalcy from Covid will leave people similarly emotional.

Please read the Twitter slapfight between Khan and Yannick. AMAZING COVID-19 ISOLATION BE DRIVING PEOPLE CRAZY
You can read the whole tweet thread at the link below, where Ngakoue and Khan exchanged a number of public messages to each other. Ngakoue first told Khan to "stop hiding," and Khan replied while taking the high road, thanking Ngakoue for his contributions to the Jaguars and explaining to Ngakoue that "good trade compensation" will get Ngakoue his wish for a trade. To this point, the Jaguars haven't found that. Ngakoue remained frustrated, telling Khan to "just trade me" and hold the speech, to which Khan mic-dropped Ngakoue with an "I’m sure you’re really driving up the price today" reply. Ngakoue is doing himself no favors by taking this to Twitter. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Monday that there have been no trade offers from teams for Ngakoue, knowing the Jaguars want premium draft picks while Ngakoue also needs a monster long-term contract.

so Brady got Godwin, Evans, OJ Howard and now Gronk to pitch it too. big difference from that garbage he had in NE last year.

my god
"There was no relationship," Hopkins told SI of O'Brien. "Make sure you put that in there. There's not a lot to speak about."
Hopkins told the magazine that he knew how to get out of the situation in Houston. Hopkins said that by "asking for a little raise" the team likely would instead shop him.
"Which is the outcome that I wanted," Hopkins told SI.

Bucs acquired TE Rob Gronkowski from the Patriots in exchange for a fourth-round pick.this ho
The Pats are also sending a seventh-rounder Tampa Bay's way. FOX's Jay Glazer reports the soon-to-be 31-year-old has already taken a physical. We learned of Gronk's official desire to return less than an hour ago, but the longtime Pat had never closed the door on coming back. After a decade of injuries in New England, Gronk looked many steps slower in 2018, but he still managed a 47/682/3 line in 13 games before going 12/166 between the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl. His 15.1 yards per reception lead all active tight ends with at least 100 career catches. The ultimate security blanket for Tom Brady, Gronk should be refreshed after his year off. Even if O.J. Howard isn't traded, Gronk will be in the TE1 mix, though he will not ascend to his usual heights with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin around to gobble up targets.
