How bout put a cap on tickets and stadium food n beverages?

A QB-specific salary cap is a shortsighted fix for the issue here. Just set a maximum salary cap percentage that can be spent on any single player, ie no singular player can account for more than 18 - 20% of the salary cap for a team at any time. It keeps the league from targeting specific player groups and could be sold as a net positive for the rest of the non-qbs in the Player's Union

Your idea is an improvement on a salary cap for qbs and the best way to implement a salary cap. But there has to be a salary cap it's gotten insane. there is no football without special team players, lineman, there is no reason one player gets 800,000 while a bust like Dak gets $60 million.

The typo on the SB ring is just one more dig at Tyreek for taking the bag over more rings with KC. I love it.

I bought Playmakers for my father when it came out. He had been waiting for the release of it. It was the last book he reqd before he passed away and enjoyed it greatly. I read it after I inherited it. It is a great book. Thank you.

I have PVCs too. 1 out of 10 Americans have PVC. A lot of times it is unnoticeable. That "heartburn" or "heart attack" feeling is typically due to caffeine. Making your heart work overtime. My doctors recommended cardio exercise in order to strengthen the heart. The fact that you are constantly doing cardio is likely why you are doing so great AND why you never really experienced PVCs until now. Just my two cents. Don't sue me. :-)

It’s great to hear you’re healthy.

As far as exercise goes in your 60s or 70s listen to your body when you exercise. At 35 I could run a 5-minute mile, in my 60s maybe a single 8-minute or higher, I would never push myself to the ragged edge of that midsummer race doing a 5-minute mile in a 5k. You are diminished at those ages if you have a measuring stick to compare and the ragged edge is probably not wise.

Exactly, it's not a complicated formula. Mahomes and brady took less and have 7 out of the last 10 superbowls because they were able to build better teams around them.

Didn't the shield say on PMS that he doesn't want pre-season football and potentially more playoff teams.

Its not 32 different businesses its like 1 business and 32 franchises.

18 games, fine. Expand rosters to 60, and make mandatory snap counts across rosters, etc, so players are playing less snaps, done. Also, with 18 games, it makes sense to have 2 bye weeks.

Quality Bad Santa reference (RIP Bernie Mac)

They should have a QB salary cap, this is spiraling out of control.

Florio: you have a flawed NPV calculation on winning. Brady sacrificed salary in short term for long term legacy and now has the real equity you miss: he has brand equity as the GOAT. He can get paid tens of millions just for being himself. Shaq appeal

I would not give up two first round draft picks for Lamar. I don’t even think he’s a two-time MVP.

Ok Florio can I sue you for giving me a personality disorder?? lmk k ty 😂

Isn't tom essentially getting this info confirmed out there a good thing though? We know what's coming down the line and what the badge wants. This is good to know.

I can see QB salary cap be up to 1/6 of the teams salary cap

Id love to see a 24 week season with 3 bye weeks for a toral of 21 regular season games. The 3 bye weeks is the only way to sell it to the union, and it should be able to guarantee each team gets a bye once every 7 weeks.

I would keep the incorrect ring. It's part of the story now, makes it different.

Qb's salaries are getting ridiculous this next man up breaks the bank is ridiculous. Teams are held hostage

Winning got Tom Brady a $350 million contract! Did he really take less money?

The difference is we assume that 8 year old is gonna grow up to work a regular job where that mindset wouldn’t be healthy. If you’re getting paid millions to play a game then yeah winning at all costs is the objective, even if that means taking a few less million to do so.

Mike why are the people that pay the players and the owners never discussed?? US! And we have no vote or say in anything. Pay them means higher ticket prices etc. so annoying

🤔 position salary cap as a percentage of team salary cap. Say a qb gets 20% for 5 years meaning every time the salary cap goes up so does the qbs check but it is always the same percentage.

Maybe it was a diss against Tyreek Hill and Miami Dolphins...?

Qbs don't have a right to feel any type of way with this, their slice of the pie has nearly doubled since 2007. Top rbs career earnings are closer to one year of these qb salaries.

If I were the players, if you expand the season you es t a guarantee of some money if your career ends early due to injury. Something like an annuity of 50% of the contract over a certain time. That’s the only thing I would take

Yall forget Brady took those deals because without a top 10 defense and special teams, he’d never have made a single bowl. 💀 he NEEDED the studs around him

I agree they should have a qb salary cap it should be set at 300 million after that the rest carry over to the regular cap

Yes congratulations you’re doing well

Didn't KC pay Mahomes half a billion dollars for a 10 year contract? Since then, $50 million per year for a QB has become the standard offer for the position...

Yes and it was a dumb contract, it wad heavily home town for cheifs, but he is also guaranteed all his money( it rolls every 2 years, first 2 years guaranteed then next year , year 2 and 3 guaranteed then next 3 and 4 ect ect) It's why when ppl gay mad at deshaun watson guaranteed money I laughed, the only reason mahilmes is like that is because his owner DOES NOT have 500 million in cash to give the. Nflpa( guaranteed money is payed to the nflpa UP FRONT and kept in escrow till that year they then give it to the player at the start of the new league year) Again, a lot of ppl know nothing on these subjects but act like they know what's good and what's bad.

I LOVE THIS GUY BRO🤙🏼❤️🐬🫡

Mike is the Mr. Rogers of Sports: speaks intimately as if he's talking to one person (you), not 20,000...

Contracts should be based on performance...

how do you maintain any competitive bidding on QBs if there is a salary cap on the position. It will shortly just become every QB making whatever the cap is.

What Pinball machine (or machines) do you own Mike? I remember seeing one in the background of your living room setup a few years ago, but could make out which one it was.

It shouldn’t be just QBs At some point these contracts do have to stop going up if not in a few years QBs and others will be getting like 3 years 2 billion. It’s already ridiculous how much some of these guys make

My answer to Belichick if I was negotiating with him and he asked if I thought I was better than Brady: no, I don’t-but then again, I don’t have a super model wife who makes double what I make.

18 games, up 2. Don't you need a larger roster? Just injury math, more games, more opportunities to get injured and unable to play. No one can change that on either side.

The players tried to have All Hats game during an strike year in the mid 80s and the league went to Court and squashed it

4:43 as a chiefs fan I literally dont care at all about it and not even remotely embarrassed, so I can totally get Kelce not caring either

Florio is the Goat 🐐

Mike a Vikings fan since 1969. I think we were going to draft Pennix. Too much talking about everyone else. Just a hunch. I was bummed Atlanta got him. Please discuss this.

Sounds like the owners already want a new CBA. That's the only way an 18 game season n changes to the salary cap will happen. Players seem to have the leverage to get at least 50% of the revenue share

I would take some measure of petty solace if I were in the Miami organization. It's not a particularly warm comfort, but it'll do.

I have no specific love for Tom Brady (I'm a Broncos fan) and I've never paid much attention to the day to day business of the Patriots. But if Brady did prioritise winning over money, that is 100% a good thing. I want my team to win the superbowl. And he'll still have earned lots of money anyway. The lowest paid player in the NFL will earn more money in 1 year than I'll see in my entire life.

Thank you Cleveland for making ownership want a cap. They should cap screwing fans on tickets. Then again what do I know. 😂

They will be the most valuable super bowl rings

No matter what they agree to on the QB salary cap, there WILL be a Haslem out there who's going to say, 'I own my company! Don't tell ME what to do!' (Snicker) Of course, people could look at how that turned out and shy away...

Mike, you say that about the owners providing stadiums and infrastructure but how many teams are asking for / getting public money. So now the NFL has your tax dollars, your subscriptions, ticket price, consessions, merchandise.

I think florio missed the fact that because mahomes took a team friendly deal they were able to keep more pieces to keep winning like look at caleb sure we don't know what he will be yet but he's already setting himself up for not needing a big contract.the big company's pay a shitload for sponsorship deals and you only have those types of deals if your winning

I feel NFL should have pay based on play time as starter or backup cause I feel it ain't fair if a backups has to do a starters job for way less n if they do they should get that starters pay not backup pay every game should pay half the salary n the other half is ur base pay for all the other stuff it would work just a lil complicated at first then all players get paid the same at ur position n rank

I've never really understood how labor getting together and saying, "no one will work for you for less than this amount" ISN'T collusion, but management getting together and saying, "we'll only pay this much" IS collusion. If these guys (the players) were having to get 2nd jobs so their families could eat, I could understand all the shade you're throwing at the owners, but this is quite obviously not the case. We've arrived at a point where ONE personnel decision can sink a franchise, and if some action isn't taken the league will be in real trouble. I'm not saying a QB cap is that answer, but an answer needs to be found and the owners have every right to discuss it.

If they want to enjoy the benefits of the "equity" then they should be willing to take on part of the debt!! Everyone is making too much money but only a few are holding the responsibility of keeping it all going!

6 min later actual football

Mike, when asked about which team(s) are poised to this season to get hot, the teams you mentioned are all NFC teams until the end when you haphazardly mentioned the Chiefs. What gives?

No player is worth 60 million a year. No player should make more than 10 million a year period. This is totally ridiculous. There playing a game. If they don't like it don't play.

Come on mike, everything in moderation don't have to exercise everyday 😅

They need to restructure quarterback contracts by skills you can't have the 15th best quarterback make the most just because he was the last quarterback signed it's absurd.. now every other quarterback that is just as good or worse is it going to get paid more outrageous

I would cap qbs pay at 15% of cap wich goes up every year. They did it with rookie scale contracts

When the kid's 8 years old and is always winning, you got yourself a goddamn prodigy, idk what you're on about florio

Taking less money isn't cheating anyone. None of those Pats players had to accept lowball offers from Kraft. They could have said no and walked. Every single NFL player ever could have agreed to have been paid less, they CHOSE not to. Talent likes money; you have more to spend and it's more likely to draw talent from the FA pool. Simple math, not cheating. There is no functional difference between 50 and 60 million a year; the only difference is greed. Accept less, build a superteam. A, B, C, 1, 2, 3.

The infrastructure can be provided WITHOUT THE OWNERS. The players need to create their own "player owned" league. They need to just set it up, not as leverage, BUT AS AN ACTUAL LEAGUE. The owners have no power beyond their money. The players have more than enough money and support from the public.

That’s how he won 7 championships… stop it… now he is legend and will make more in a broadcasting career…

You know Mike, I NEVER hear you justify why all the money should go to the QB and screw the rest of the players. I know you know there is a salary cap. I also know you know the law of subtraction. So, please spend some time justifying why everyone else should get less because the teams have to overpay the QBs. I would really love to hear your explanation. Again, all the other players with many years of sacrifice and effort to be where they are, are going to be limited all b/c someone is the 'face' of a franchise. That is wrong in my book and I would like to hear why I'm wrong.
