26CornerBlitz Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 @ProFootballTalk With De Smith's contract extended, the NFL hopes talks on a CBA extension will commence soon http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/09/20/nfl-hopes-cba-extension-talks-will-commence-soon/ The NFL Players Association has decided to keep executive director DeMaurice Smith. The NFL hopes that the certainty that arises from thIS decision will spark talks on an extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. “We congratulate Mr. Smith on his re-election,” NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said Tuesday during a periodic media briefing. “I think we had productive negotiations with him in 2011. We believe strongly that it has worked for both parties, for owners and for players.” Things have been rancorous lately between the NFLPA and the League. Let's hope they can agree on an extension of the CBA before the current deal expires.

boyst Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 #teamNFL here. Players are going to get totally fleeced again. just so they can get weed and reduced fines. I'd love it for Brady to champion the penile issues
row_33 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 #teamNFL here. just so they can get weed and reduced fines. I'd love it for Brady to champion the penile issues in exchange for weed, we ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............. sorry.... what does that say? weed is to the NFLPA as Dental Plan is to Homer Simpson
oldmanfan Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 I predict a lost season coming up. Smith knows the perception is that the players got hosed last time so he'll be out for blood this round.

Smith knows the perception is that the players got hosed last time so he'll be out for blood this round. players have been hosed every single time since they organized, they are so weak as a power base compared to the owners last time the owners weren't allowed to defer collected TV revenues, that ended it this could be two years until the players come crawling back
Malazan Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Why do the players keep doing this to themselves? DeMaurice Smith is awful. His strategy to not negotiate on some issues and try to sue, sue, sue failed miserably. Edited September 20, 2017 by jeremy2020
Boatdrinks Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 #teamNFL here. just so they can get weed and reduced fines. I'd love it for Brady to champion the penile issues Why shouldn't they get " weed" ? Most leagues don't test for it. NFL is pretty out of touch .
row_33 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Why shouldn't they get " weed" ? Most leagues don't test for it. NFL is pretty out of touch . could be out of touch for more than one season shortly, the game is in deep deep trouble then they can smoke weed 24/7
SaviorPeterman Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 This doushbag is already promising another lockout.
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 The NFL loves keeping terrible people employed.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 So we should be preparing for Scab games in the future? If the current players cared about the future of NFL players, they would. But it's really hard to pass up a paycheck.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Klemko blames Smith for the lousy state of the NFL game. Is he right? @SInow Players got younger, and football got worse. The effects of the 2011 CBA are evident on Sundays https://www.si.com/2017/09/20/demaurice-smith-reelected-bad-football What would have been DeMaurice Smith’s legacy as NFLPA boss, I wonder, if he had not been re-elected yesterday to lead the union into the second collective bargaining era of his career? What has Smith, the University of Virginia-educated lawyer, delivered since his election in 2009? I think you’re watching it. Bad football is a pervasive theme of the 2017 NFL campaign. You could put together a feature-length film consisting merely of offensive tackles being slapped aside, bulldozed or put on ice skates in the first two weeks of the season. The league’s newfangled next-gen route-tracking technology gives us painfully precise recreations of wobbly out routes and wayward post-corners. On Sunday we’re sending the good people of London a scintillating showdown between Joe Flacco and Blake Bortles.What happened? DeMaurice Smith’s NFLPA happened.In an effort to curb exorbitant rookie salaries that owners and players alike agreed were getting out of hand, the NFLPA overcorrected, enacting a rookie wage scale that incentivized NFL teams to stockpile young talent and save surplus cash for a handful of second contracts. The union also agreed to shortened practice time in the offseason, a measure that had the full backing of players but should have been more carefully scrutinized. The consequences are clear.
K D Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 So we should be preparing for Scab games in the future? fingers crossed...we might actually win like in the movie Second String
Blokestradamus Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Joel hit the nail on the head. @corryjoel DeMaurice Smith's re-election & Roger Goodell's expected extension ensure a 2021 work stoppage. Those 2 can barely agree Xmas is on 12/25.

row_33 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 The players should strike. Their contract sucks. they are barely pieces of meat to owners. sorry, what should they demand and lose a year's pay over, in your opinion.
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 they are barely pieces of meat to owners. sorry, what should they demand and lose a year's pay over, in your opinion. Guaranteed contracts. And if Rodgers, Brady, and the big stars hold out, the owners will cave in a second. The league kinda sucks this year.
