And now it's like a Malik Willis or a Daniel Jones, like 40, like as crazy as to say like $44 million.

Like that's outside the top half of what guys are getting paid.

And then it's all rookies, like all rookies and guys on rookie contracts.

There's no middle class like that.

That's gone from the NFL.

And with that, like you lose everything.

Some of like, like personally, this might be like, you lose some of like the wisdom that comes with that of guys who have played in the league.

Because now they get, now they're getting churned out so fast because the contract is so cheap.

Yeah, I'm not going to extend you because honestly, this game beats your body up so bad that it's better just to get a fresh body in there.

And these people, they have no attachment to the sacrifices that have been built over a long time.

So you kind of build this player force that doesn't know what's going on.

And I say that with a grain of salt now because I used to be one of these guys like, oh, you know, they don't care what's going on.

And there is a good chunk that don't care what's going on.

But I think now it's more clear there's like an obvious force stopping them from getting like information about what's going on with this union stuff, which is the meat of this.

Like the recent stuff is just like the ultimate just fuck it.

I guess we're pawns of the ownership stuff, you know?

I think the arc of this is like, it's the arc of sort of unionism in America.

You know, you go back to like your early 1900s unions, right?

And those unions, you know, they're unbelievably powerful.

They're extremely dangerous.
