Pablo Torre unearthed an arbitration ruling from a legal battle between the NFL and NFLPA after the players alleged collusion from the owners.
The key pieces of the dispute surrounded the contracts of star quarterbacks. After DeShaun Watson received a fully-guaranteed deal, why didn’t any other quarterback receive the same? The arbiter ruled against collusion from the owners, but the behind-the-scenes details in the ruling are juicy.
Russell Wilson’s contract extension from the Denver Broncos was at the heart of the case, because it was one of the first star quarterback extensions signed after Deshaun Watson received his. Both Russell Wilson and Denver Broncos owner Greg Penner testified in the case about how the negotiations played out.
The guys break down what Russell Wilson demanded, how the Denver Broncos reacted, and the rest of the fallout, according to the new information.
