And the part of the biggest thing that where they gave up was part of the biggest thing after they after I say they gave the money back to the owners.

They gave Roger Goodell.

They made him dictator in terms of like the punishment.

Workforce.

But the rookie wage scale.

Oh, my God.

A massive.

Holy shit.

shit massive concession to ownership yeah because they they as in like tom brady and drew breeze more so drew breeze from what i've gathered kind of frame this as hey why are these rookies getting all this damn money like this is something that should be going towards the veterans and ownership was like oh you see that you think like you think that's a good idea like we're gonna

agree we could agree to that and what they got back was like less practice time so you know you know you don't have to have as many two-a-days man that's worth billions of dollars really like in terms of like yeah what you what you guys can set yourself up with and what the what the veteran players who who were on board with this what they thought was oh okay well if the rookie wage if the rookie wages deal like if that if that gets capped

At a certain amount, then that's more money for us.

So like a prime example is in 2010, Sam Bradford was the number one overall pick to St.

Louis Rams.

He signed a six-year, $84 million contract.

So the next year, Cam Newton is the first overall pick to the Carolina Panthers.

And after this lockout ends, his contract was four years, $22 million.

Fully guaranteed.

She's correct.

you lost $60 million in terms of value from the year before.

So what the players, what the veteran players thought was, oh, okay, well now there'll be this influx of cap space to sign veteran players.
