1.5 percent of total league revenue over 10 years is being estimated at 5 billion.

Funny how so many thought the baseline would be 50/50 split.  If I’m the players I would be very suspicious how quickly the owners came up and voted for this proposition, especially since they knew the NFLPA was going to ask and get a bigger cut and the owners then asked for another game.    I would definitely start at 50 percent of profits.

starting point has been 48.5 for a 17 game schedule along along.. there has been no official discussion of a 50-50 split as of yet.. but its funny thats the only thing you guys see.. yet there are some other things that are headed the right direction in this negotation as well.

Exactly right. The common school of thought in league circles had been that they are so far apart a work stoppage was inevitable. Now I’m seeing what looks like more common ground than division. I’m very interested to see an actual response from the NFLPA to know where they are really at here.

The last collective bargaining agreement was heavily in favor of the owners.   It should have been 48.5 at 16 at least.   The owners were so happy to approve this because they knew they were going to have to pay more but now get a 17th game for doing it.   I'd be upset if these jokers were representing me year in and year out.   I understand there are other caveats to the negotiations but come on.   I've never seen that owners so giddy to sign and complete a new CBA.....that tells you all you need to know about the proposal.

Not all owners voted to approve. Anyone have who or what number did not vote in favor of this?

So the expansion to 17 games is all up to the players, basically saying "we'll not give you a bigger share if you don't comply with an extra game". I like the emphasis on the minimum salaries as that has a much bigger impact than all the tags. Not sure which way the players will go but should be interesting if the agreement is reached rather soon. 

Also I'm pretty sure we won't be dealing with a Mahomes-contract if the CBA has a chance of being settled this offseason. Both parties will want the new agreement in place to maximize the benefit.

That is how I see it too sith.  I’m all for this thing getting resolved quickly as to avoid a stoppage but still think the owners walk away totally winning again this round of negotiations.

They are like Vegas casinos, owners never lose even if the players think they won something.
