Power is shifting to the players. Will the Bears' wide receiver be the next NFL star to seize control? Robinson speaks to Go Long about how everything got to this point in Chicago and what's next...
The league uses every single ounce of leverage they have at all times. The fans will not like it (see: Colin Kaepernick) but it is in a players interest, particularly talented players interest, to act selfishly. The "brand" ramifications to the players are laughable - rare exceptions like Manning, Rodgers, and a few others (note: all QBs) have a shot at real endorsement money. Even when players choose to sit out a year, it is questionable if they end up with less.
