Lots of player (Dante Poe) really helped their earning potential in the combines but one MAY BE ABLE to argue for every player that went up in value one went down I don't know. This is also a real opportunity for staffs to schmooze and make deals. I know the city of Indy has got to be opposed to that. It'll probably be approved in a year or two just simple because Goodell is the NFPLA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,684 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I heard it said that it's probably one of many "Demands" the NFLPA will have in it's next negotiations never planning on pushing the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,219 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I doubt the nflpa has much say in it. The purpose of the combine is medical. Either do it all at once or do it for every team but teams are gonna get the medical info. Plus the prospects aren't in the NFLPA yet since they're not in the NFL so NFLPA can't negotiate for them. oldtimer and bamaroyal 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Players enter the draft already surrender all their "medical rights" and makes sense for the future employer to learn about their physical situation as opposed to following rumors. I don't see any reason for this "wokeness" which looks just stupid. Regarding the metrics one thing he misses is that players perform better and/or worse in the combine environment due to added pressure as well as the multiple phases of the process. May not be the greatest experience for all of them I'm sure but I don't see the downside of this at all and calling it a "slave auction" is just stupid. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith has a frigging law degree. You would think he would know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
