January 19, 2011
Collusion claim filed by NFLPA
In the professional sports world when you hear that a players' union has filed a collusion claim, you most likely think it's from the the baseball players' union. Not this time though. Now it's the NFLPA that is claiming that NFL owners colluded to keep salaries down last off season. In fact it was just a few months ago that the MLBPA and the owners settled a possible collusion claim. Now we have the NFLPA and the owners on a collision course to see if they can kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
Arbitration season
As spring training approaches there is much news on the salary arbitration front.
