Somebody's going to get rich off the NFL. Why would you prefer that it be the already-crazy-wealthy owners and not the players who put their bodies on the line every day? The Lerners are rich enough. Asking for income that's relative to the type of wealth you're expected to generate seems fairly reasonable to me.

I don't know much about the economics of football, but if they had to pay Kellen Winslow less, and he accepted a more reasonable deal, wouldn't that ultimately result in lower ticket prices and other fan-related costs?
Or no?
