Some thoughts on the reporting that “NFL wants to put 35% revenue in escrow”... it’s terrible marketing. They’re basically offering the Cap smoothing NBA owners did back in 2015 that NBPA May have done in hindsight

Now, it’s also very fair for the league to counter with “well, why don’t we just pull forward some of those future TV deal increases?!?!?!?”
Which... is totally fair

I’m guessing they compromise with:
For easy math, let’s assume the $40M cap drop is real
2020 Cap is $200M (set aside $10M - 5%) per team in escrow and each player takes a 10% dip in 2020 on their base salary)

2021 - Should be $160M but is falsely inflated to $200M (with $10M from 2020, $10M from 2022, $15M from 2023, $5M from 2024)
2022 - Would have been $220M, now $210M because $10M pulled forward to 2021

Something reasonable with a small give back now by NFLPA and then an advance on the obviously substantial upcoming TV deal is MUCH more reasonable for all parties involved than allowing the cap to plung $40M in 2021

If that happens? All teams are damaged, some considerably. No free agent cashes in, none do the MANY veterans who will be cut will find teams with any cap space to sign them. No one wins

Hopefully reasonable heads prevail here and the owners and Union can find a reasonable compromise to give this “amnesty year” versus throwing the baby out with the bath water in commitment to a simple math equation
