And it is so early.

These are Brandon Posey types either that have 60-80 million banked already...a lot of very good players giving up a lot of guaranteed money.

NFL players union is weak for many reason, including the longevity of its players is horrendously low

Now some of those contracts will carry over, but not all of those contracts are guaranteed
