As much as I hate to say it it's going to end up like almost every other case the NFL is involved in either directly or indirectly like part of Vilma's suit; they win. They may lose a few battles but they will in fact get their way. Where they have gotten in trouble in the past is when they violate state or federal laws but usually those issues are tertiary. They may pay a fine or Vilma may win a small settlement but big picture they prevail. It's unfortunate but this is what happens when the average career is two years. Nobody gives a damn. They just want the paycheck.

If I may add... This is what happens when the wrong idiot oversees the binding document that is the CBA.

Smith only cared about $.... The players only cared about $$ they were all happy then the CBA covered what they wanted in $$


Its like buying a car based on what note you told the salesman that you wanted... next thing you know your payments stretch 9 years and the first 4 are front loaded with interest... then you figure out you paid $4500 for a clear coat and scotch guard.... No one bothered to pay any attention to any paragraphs that did not cover compensation...
