PA's main issue should be helping players get lives after football, helping restructure rookie wage scales to benefit players who actually preformed, and making sure when people no longer care about a player be it Tom Brady or HB Blades that either one can get the best possible health care from injuries related to the sport... Not how much they can tack onto salaries.

See, that's why I like the NFL over the other major sports. It's about the teams and not the players. In the NBA guys like Jordan and Kobe ARE bigger than the game. One or two guys can win a franchise many championships. In the NFL it's about the teams. The players are always secondary. Brett Favre was one of the better QB's of all-time and how long did it take Green Bay fans to get over his departure, like 10 seconds? That's always annoyed me about the NBA, people seem to root for the players rather than the teams. The 90's were just ridiculous with how many drones mindlessly rooted for the Bulls because of Jordan. Most of those people couldn't even name a Bulls player other than Jordan and Pippen.
