Gentlemen: We’re missing something here. The salary cap is GOING UP next year. Players will benefit. Rewarding their behavior. Pretty smart. Owners know it too. Like the Deep State.
If the Raiders are smart they’ll play their final 2 home games in Honolulu. 10 days in the islands. The rest of the season should be in S.F.’s ATT (baseball) park. Win win.Good publicity. Maybe even one in Samoa(Sept home opener).
TV contract. Stadiums have less people, but the NFL is making more money from TV revenue. Maybe even with less TV viewers.
Salary cap for players going up....proves those running the NFL do not even understand the rudiments of profit. Fan base shrinks, give the players more money...a double down on an inevitable financial loss.
