    Not going to happen. There will always be owners like Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder who will overpay.

    The NFLPA would **** their pants at the idea of being paid on commission.

    Not that it is a good idea. Getting paid as much as people are willing to pay you is the foundation of the free market.

    But IF it ever happened, you'd see guys busting their asses like used car salesmen.

    I'll say this -- the Titans have handled this thing perfectly. I thought for sure no one would trade for CJ at his insane salary (and I was right), but the Titans are drawing it out and making CJ realize he has to renegotiate or they will hold him hostage until late in the offseason when it will be hard to find a team to join (and no teams will have salary cap space left). He knows getting traded is his best option and he knows taking a pay cut is necessary.

    Now, the Titans are leaking info that there are multiple teams interested to drive up the price. I don't buy it, but there might be a sucker out there who does.

    I think this team could actually get something (though probably not higher than a 5th round pick) for CJ. That would be pretty great.

    Sounds like we could get some sort of bidding war going on here. Perhaps we are in for a surprise and grab a 4th round pick or maybe even a 3rd :))

    Pay for Play would turn the NFL into a basketball game. A bunch of individual stars trying to outdo each other rather than contribute to a team goal.

    I know it's hypothetical, and not even realistic. But the thought of every player trying to pad his stats to result in a payday gives me the shivers.

    Man, and I thought I was being super optimistic by saying a 5th.

    Pretty soon, this forum will once again have convinced itself that CJ is worth a 1st.

    Let's be realistic, people. A 3rd definitely ain't happening.
