I think we need a change to the CBA ... play on the field is going to start suffering as more and more teams are going to be paying half the cap to 5 players it's going to make the game suffer overall, and it's shortening the careers of players. I like the NBA system where older players contracts can count only partially against the cap.

Right the numbers are the numbers, it's not like they can't afford him or didn't know how much it costs to sign the 17th overall pick…nickel and diming him over TC roster bonuses lol.

Why does every factor for every contract at each position have to go up? I know why agents want all the money up front, but they act like it's wrong of the team if they don't want to pay it that way. The amount is guaranteed.

I've been saying this for a long time. A lot of fans say well that's the market. I know it is but that doean't make it smart. No business is totally immune from the cost of doing business. No other business other than sports just keeps handing out larger and larger contracts because that's what everyone else does.

Owners are billionaires but most made their money in other fields. Football and it's operation is a seperate entity. They have limits in how much they can spend and still contnue to operate efficiently. Spend too much in one area and some other area will suffer. Pay 5 players top dollar and some other parts of the team will suffer. That's how you end up with a 2nd tier O line.

The average NFL players' career lasts 3.3 years (or close to that), so make players with 5 or more years in the league have their contracts only count 80% against the cap. The owners can pay that extra if they want, but it would mean that more players with promise would be more likely to sign a second contract with the team that drafted them.

I was so disappointed when the 49ers didn't draft Houshmandzadeh who was a California guy and played just a bit up the road at Oregon State. Turned out better for him though.

I was disappointed when the 49ers didn't draft Travis Kelce and Keenan Allen ... instead we got Tank Carradine and Vance McDonald.

The early tidbits we are getting are encouraging. Plus the guys in here that really know line play are excited. This is all good.
