Including a Players Association

[kckolbe]

Fair enough, valid point. How do you suggest we stop that, and is that really something we need a players association for? Specifically one we need to pay money into to belong to, regardless of what that amount is.

I don't think we need a PA for it, but it came to mind because there were rumors that Brady was pressured by the PA to get paid more even though he was under contract, and ended up getting an extra 1m a year.

As for solutions, I think that the minimum for each tier after 1 needs to be raised. A T2 player brings SO MUCH MORE to the field than a T1, yet only needs to be paid an extra 500k. What's worse is that a T2 can sign a 4 year deal at 1m a year with no required increases.

So, off the cuff, I have two proposals

1) Increase the minimum pay raise between each tier to 2 million at T2 and +1 million each tier after that.

2) Require a minimum of +500k for for each year after the first. This second proposal would not have to apply to rookie contracts, as they are still likely to go inactive.
