I think the point is that, if all a player is concerned about is himself, sure. However, at a certain point, some of these guys might wonder how many millions one really needs and if allowing themselves and the team to have a better chance at a ring by taking slightly less (but still more than...

I agree that it isn't going to happen. I just was addressing the zero-sum statement, which, as I understand it, would mean that, for any team to improve, another would have decline. I don't see anything that would prevent any measure of overall league status to improve.

Don't understand. Every team could get better this year. There'd still be a hierarchy, but there's no reason to believe that the 32nd team this year couldn't be better than the 32nd team last year, and the same for each one above.

I read this pretty quickly and was on board until I noticed the $20 was per game - I figured on about that for the season. :)

In line with the general theme of the discussion, there's no way anyone could not agree with the whole last sentence. Some (maybe just me?) have felt, though, that he was a hard-working, lunch-pail kind of guy who made a bunch of downfield tackles with not a whole lot of impact. Perhaps I just...

Don't really follow. Which of the guys at the bottom of the 2006 draft make up for the choice of Hawk's production with the #5 pick?
