NFL gets 6 billion annually from their TV deal with far less games

NFL superstars aka QBs get paid a **** ton but to the point

alluded to, the NFL also has a hard cap. If Bron, Steph, Giannis, etc were to get blank checks then the league median salary would drop something crazy. In the NBA, everybody eats.

With the NFL, quarterbacks feast and basically everyone else is underpaid. Running backs are more or less battle fodder now.

And, yet, the NFL players reap none of those rewards. Non-guaranteed contracts, prove-it deals left and right. It's a joke.
The reason so many role players get paid big money is the NBA's dumb max contract system. They have to spend a certain percentage of the cap. If they can't pay a star more than X dollars, they have to throw that money at someone else who is undeserving.

They don’t HAVE to throw that money at someone else, though. They just choose to and that’s why bad teams stay bad.
I guess it would stop dudes from teaming up, though?

There is no way Donald isn't tweeting his own stuff. It's too deranged. And this goes back long before being Prez.

I‘m skeptical. Magic’s tweets are pretty consistent with his TV basketball analysis and questioning as a talk show host. #FakeNews

Watching the Starbary doc now, Prime KG/Ray in Minny would've been something. Props to Steph for opening up about everything

They kind of do, though. The new CBA increased the cap floor to 90%. Teams had money to spend, and had to hit a higher threshold. If you can't pay a star more than a certain amount, you gotta spend it elsewhere. Hence, the new wave of dumb contracts signed since. Owners can't get get out of their own way on this stuff. It's a new decade, but nothing has changed. I fully expect another wave of amnesties in the next CBA. At least they're not handing out 7-year, $120-million deals anymore.

Ahhh I didn’t consider the floor. Great call. I still don’t think that means you have to give out long-term deals that would require being amnestied in the future but I certainly stand corrected. Thank you for pointing that out.

Whitlock actually used to be good. He appears to be searching for a paycheck like Iron Mike was once searching for his mouth guard, though.

Amnesties was a bit of an exaggeration. But, there will be problems in the next CBA, mainly due to "player empowerment" era stuff. I can see owners putting the clamps on trade requests (forfeiting portions of salaries), minimum contract lengths (no one and ones with a player option). It's going to get really ugly.

Don't think it will be that bad.
Ironically a reason for player empowerment is the owners wanted to stop giving six and seven year deals. Now we have players changing teams every three to four years, if not faster.
