That's not how unions work. It is how negotiations work. Which we aren't seeing w/RB's. The 5th yr actually "works". If we could actually call an employee still beholden to the employer after he has finished his contract "working". It just doesn't work for RB's. The position itself is the outlier.

I laughed to day when the Giants signed their LT to more $ than they did Barkley. If that doesn't tell everyone the system is screwing over RB's I don't know what will. It is an outright lie these runners are getting what they are valued at. No, they are getting what owners feel like giving them.
