They need to start talking about the salary floor as well.



That's one of the things the NFL gave players.  A limit to how little teams can spend. 

Yeah, I think that will be a prerequisite to any profit sharing...and they are going to need more checks than just a salary floor to make sure guys are not just pocketing the money.

And makes the players more likely to agree since guarantees a certain amount of money.

Exactly.  And like I said, the Players are going to be fine.  The owners know what it will take to get the Players to the table...and I personally think what they will want is very reasonable.  The owners just need to work it out among each other how they are going to come to grips with what it will take from them to get it there.  And the biggest part will be swallowing their Billionaire pride.
