I think when the owners are offering well over half of the revenue to players it's stupid for Upshaw and the player reps to continue to jepordize their future. There aren't many businesses that guarantee to pay their employees over half of what they take in. The NFL is generating more income each year for the teams and their players. Even at the current level the players are well paid and they are putting all of that at risk by not negotiating a compromise. If the cap is gone all it is going to do is further seperate the stars from the average players. Teams are going to pay more for top tier players and less for everyone else on the roster. Smaller market teams are going to be squeezed out of free agency and I hope if that happens that teams will send them as many of these "team reps" as they possibly can. But ultimately it's all Upshaw's fault. His power trip is going to end up hurting alot of people.
