I just don’t see the players agreeing to this. With the current deferral and escrow agreement I’m pretty sure they are at 72% of gross income correct? Another 16% deferred and even further escrow guys would be at like 50-55% of gross income.
Think of a guy like Barrie who just took a cheaper 1 year deal because of the situation, is he really going to show up for 2M or less gross income?
I know if my work came to me and told me to work for 50% of my pay I would probably just say not worth it.
If it's only 50% of the work (i.e. a shorter schedule) do you really think it's the same. Deferred also doesn't mean you don't get paid, just get paid later. For you and I that'd be crushing, for them, less so, though I can understand the players saying "borrow the money, it's never been cheaper to borrow" rather than borrowing from the players or pay the interest to the players you'd be paying elsewhere.
