Rumors of a Postseason Strike

Rookie salaries
This is a large sticking point, and where common sense has seemingly been thrown out the door. The first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft was Left Tackle Jake Long. He signed a five-year, $57.5 million deal with the Dolphins. Good for him, right? That contract made him the highest paid Left Tackle in the NFL, and he hadn't even played a down yet. This isn't the only instance of a rookie making more money than Pro Bowl players. Rookies taken in the top 10 of the draft are making Pro Bowl type money right out of the gate. I wonder how that makes 5 and 10 year veterans feel? I think this is one of the issues that both sides will agree on and a slotting system will be put into place, or a rookie pay scale, similar to what the NBA is using.
For me...this is what's most xxxxed up as a fan...

Its illegal to go on strike?
Man, that sucks when you can't even protest. You gotta protest the legality of the protest, first.
-
Illegal or not, their are principals that have to be met.
Players need some type of assurance that if they are cut do to injuries that they will be compensated.
I for one wish they would cap rookie salaries, look at all of the wasted money on first round picks. Some of these bums contracts hold the whole team back because they are so untalented football wise but were scouted by clowns like savage who think that combine hero's are football players and get drafted out of order and cant perform.
Head or Gut? -
At this point I would not care if they go on strike and the NFL went bankrupt! These guys need to snap back to reality. I mean hell right now we have some guys that are not even trying anymore and I am sure some on other teams are the same way. To hell with these guys. Have you ever heard a NFL player talk without saying "You know" like 25 times in a 30 second interview?

If its anything like when I went to college then I will say did they learn anything?
Example: Class I want to introduce you to your schools football players, then she would call out our name and have us stand up, after we all stood up she then said you are excused until after football season. I stayed and came back for the rest of the classes. i cant say that for some of the rest.

As soon as the season ends the nfl should find all of these guys jobs at DHL or Fed Ex loading and unloading trucks/planes so they can understand what a JOB is. Then they can decide if arguing about an additional 2% is worth working in their manual labor job.
I am getting a little sick of hearing that a bunch of spoiled brats need more money when they will certainly make an average lifetime of wages in three years (minimum salary).

wait, the Browns aren't on strike already?
shoot, maybe we're just ahead of the curve.
