Domonique Foxworth on the State of the CBA

by Bruce Raffel on Feb 14, 2011 6:00 PM EST

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Domonique Foxworth might have torn his ACL and missed the entire 2010 NFL season but that hasn't prevented him from being significantly involved in talks between the players union and the owners in the negotiation of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). Foxworth is on the Executive Committee of the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA).

He says owners aren't all unified, thinks some owners want a lockout, and negotiations are like the "whack-a-mole" game. Here, he discusses the most recent negotiations, the sticking points, what it's been like to try and negotiate with the owners, if he knows when talks will resume and the frustration the situation brings him.

I think he’s one of the owners trying to force a lock out.

He's pissed that

his team sucks and he feels like the players “Got one over on him” last negotiation. The guy is just being an asshat in order to seem tough to the NFLPA.

These were exact words to Peyton Manning when Manning asked a question about player safety. “What do you know about player safety?”

Guy is a dick.

Well...

I mean Manning doesnt really take sacks so much as lay down in the fetal position when someone is coming at him. Maybe its even a little jealousy that his greatest QB has been Delhomme the interception cannon.
