the leverage dramatically shifts to the players if there is this massive case pending dating back to when Kirk Cousins got his fully guaranteed contract.
Well, because the leverage changes dramatically because now if you're the owner, again, think about it from a financial standpoint, think of the hundreds of players
that could have had guaranteed contracts that didn't, take the delta between whatever amount of money they signed for and the actual amount of money that they got, and that's a reasonable way to calculate damages.
The damages calculation for a case like that is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
And remember, for an antitrust case, you're allowed to triple it.
Treble damages.
So think as an owner now, you're heading into an early deal.
There's this huge potential calamitous money judgment that's coming against you.
What does that do with your incentive?
to want to do a deal where you are now agreeing to a number of player terms on all sorts of other issues that you otherwise wouldn't want to agree to.
And you know what?
That's capitalism.
Right?
I mean, again, let's just, let's ground it back to Chili's and everywhere else.
And that's capitalism.
Ding, ding, ding.
