Question for the knowledgeable...

Totally lost here (and to lazy to search)

I heard the current agreement says the players get X amount of revenue (I thought 60 % but whatever)

Is that true and if so what is that money for? I assume the current players dont get any of that as they have contracts so does that go to like retired players (pension fund) etc...

There's a breakdown, players get a percentage of Total Football Revenue.

Salaries.
Benefits (including the Retirement Plan) - that's HUGE.
Dues to the NFLPA (usually paid out of Salaries, but still).
I think there's even money going into the drug program.

You can go to the NFLPA.org site and check out the breakdowns if you want to.

Anyway, the Owners are saying that the #s they agreed to in 06 are causing them to lose money, so they are killing the CBA in 2010, and want to work to get a new deal.
