My opinion is just based on what's better for the game. If there was no salary cap, I couldn't care less if they had all guaranteed contracts.
I know what your opinion is. We've been down this road together a number of times. Even though I've never agreed w/it, I want to make it clear my response was not towards your opinion. It was to the system.

The salary system in the NFL is BS. You've heard me say it multiple times. The NFLPA is trash. The players are shortsighted. And the union is not unionized in thought, goals or perspective. The players have allowed themselves to be fooled into signing up for a system they never had to agree to.

Therefore, everybody is getting what they deserve. FAFO.
