How long do you think they will still pay me?

How do nfl players going to training camp get away with this shit?

 

[DonMan]

in short, they get away with it because they're union members - what they're allowed to "get away with" is negotiated as part of the CBA.

Organized labor is good.

If you had skills that less than 1% of Americans you could do the same.

Organized labor is good.

They do get paid off game checks.

And don’t have vacation or sick days.

And their job security is based 100% off talent. Yours isn’t.

If you ever want to know your worth, quickly. Blow off whoever is paying you, see what happens.

How valuable are you?

What are you looking to accomplish?

What don’t you have the time to do yourself?

How discreet do I need to be?

Organized labor is good.

Rare talent is better.

They absolutely do have sick days. You don't think when guys are ruled out for games or even practices that they still get paid? And as far as vacation days go they often get most of the bye week off and Romo sure did seem to enjoy his Cabo trip...

not completely true.

There are signing bonus', roster bonus' and workout bonus money in most NFL contracts. Alot of these players get paid enough for a new bentley to show up.

Players will do what owners allow them to get away with. These holdouts become common place when owners started caving. I have no problem with a guy skipping OTAs, sitting while negotiating and really not too concerned with this time of the year either.

Trust me, if you are replaceable you will be replaced. The more replaceable you are, the quicker it will happen. Watch how quickly a 3rd stringer gets replaced if they do that. That's right, you won't see it, because they know, just like you, they are easily replaceable.

Are we really talking about NFL players having too many rights? The most violent league with the fewest guaranteed contracts.

does not matter, they want to be role models, then start showing how to live up to your word. These guys want the guaranteed money in case they get hurt so they continue to get paid when the are not working.

Who says they want to be role models? They want to be celebrities and paid; very different.
