Because they want something in return for doing something that benefits their membership... At first the rule was said to effect players on the 53 in week 1, but apparently it was actually going to allow for one guy injured after practicing in camp to go on a 6 week IR. Now those guys will go on IR in most cases and lots of them will end up without an organization via injury settlement.
League, union can’t strike deal on IR, trade deadline changes | ProFootballTalk
They say the issue is trust but just who can't be trusted is debatable. The NFLPA agreed to HgH blood testing, too...only in the year since they haven't agreed to a standard method of testing which is clearly just a stall tactic. They don't give a rats you know what about player safety or rank and file players, it's all politics and billable hours to these guys.
Going to be interesting to listen to the wailing when 90 man rosters are cut to 53.
