Because the owners are crying poor. If you want to cry poor, open your books and prove it - then the NFLPA will negotiate on the merits of that.

But if you want to cry poor, as an owner in a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, and you WON'T open your books... well, that sounds a little like a ploy.

The Packers books are open. Single players made more money than the franchise. And this is a team believed to be in the top third or quarter, financially. So one player's salary can make or break a year. Businesses that dont make money dont stay in business.
