There are a lot of players
Sometimes the loudest voices make the most noise but that isn’t a reflection of the masses. There are a lot of players in the union. There are a few examples of no’s that were reviewed, but those players don’t speak for everyone. In fact, there are a ton of players with a vote and the CBA only needs to pass by a simple majority.
Despite speculation, no NFL team requested Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts to perform combine drills at any position other than quarterback, sources tell me and @RapSheet. One to watch in tomorrow’s primetime throwing session.

The job of the union is to represent the entire union. Its job isn’t to represent the highest-paid players more than the lowest-paid players. It’s not to agree with the players with the biggest names and forget about the opinions of the guys at hanging on at the end of the roster. It’s one player, one vote. Sometimes what’s best for the highest-paid players isn’t what’s best for the lowest-paid players. We’ll see what the entire union thinks.
