Re: Rebuilding where do we start
I will agree that AFTER the RFA and franchise tender periods are over, if a new deal is struck, the NFLPA would have to give that concession. But I think if a deal was struck tomorrow or next week, I doubt the NFLPA would give that concession. Hence why the Pats and other teams are slow to resign their free agents.
One of the concessions the NFLPA will almost certainly have to make to get a new CBA signed is that this year's FA will proceed as it is currently slated to do. There is no way 24 owners will accept 200+ FAs suddenly hitting the market like that.
