Very good point, if that's the case.
NFL owners are the epitome of greed. If they are agreeing to a non-capped year at this early date, it's only because they've already schemed and strategized to take advantage. They know darn well the dunce public will rally to their side in PR terms, the typical, "millions for playing a game..." malarkey.
I hope the players union somehow dominates and makes Roger Goodell look like a fool. He's got no threat of warmth, or semblance of balance between ownership and player's point of view, unlike Rozelle or Tagliabue.
