Every day there is no agreement the NFLPA case gets stronger for THIS year provided they can get at least one game in the books. Look at their concerns and when they started.

Way too many people are confusing mitigate and eliminate. That would be a step toward nailing down the safety issues that would allow other conversations to take center stage.

Smith said that the union began to receive Infectious Disease Emergency Response from teams on Thursday night and they will be reviewing them to make sure they are in compliance with the protocols discussed with the league. Smith and NFLPA president JC Tretter both said that the issues governing player safety, which include protocols at team facilities and testing frequency, have to be settled before moving onto the cap issues. The NFLPA isn’t making the economic discussion their top priority at the moment, however. The latter position is the one proposed by the union and executive director DeMaurice Smith said Friday that a drastic cut in the size of the salary cap for next season would lead to a slew of players being cut around the league. Word on Thursday was that the league wants to take the financial hit over the next two years rather than stretch it out over the life of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
