You always vote the first contract down. Thats Union Busines 101 friends. You always vote it down and they always come back right away with between 3 and 10% more. Always. I think it will be around 4% in this case. I sure hope the Players union knows this and privately tells the players to reject even though they've already publicly endorsed it...
I think the players will do good with the current plan. More money for proven players and the NFL pension plan and less spent on rookies with no provens.
Imagine if other unions did that? Paying the rookie bag boy more than the butcher with 20 years of experience.
And you know the owners who want to overpay will continue to find ways around the system. Peyton Manning just got a 90 million dollar deal.

Hey dips**t..Every union contract I know of has a B scale that eventually merges with an A scale for new hires..
