Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 770122, member: 204"] The NFLPA has very little leverage. Indeed, it has never been able to exert much power in its relationship with the NFL - that's historical fact. The notion that the NFLPA can compete with the multi-billion dollar behemoth that is the NFL is myopic in my judgement. I strongly suspect that because the NFL wants it, there will be an 18 game schedule soon and that the NFLPA will be unable to stop it. I also suspect that NFL player contracts will not be impacted all that much by the new schedule - as you know rookie contracts have dropped in value since Sam Bradford signed his deal a few years ago. And no, my topic title did not mean to imply that the NFL is the only greedy entity in the world. Sorry for the confusion on that. [/QUOTE]
