First, check out my edit.

To that point, it doesnt matter. If other teams do spend 90% and we spend 100%, the league would have still reimbursed the union the difference as its a league wide floor. Meaning overall, the players still make the same money because that money would have been paid anyways at the end of the year.

If the skins get 5 mil back but the league is 50 mil below that number, they only reimburse 45 mil to the players. If they give nothing back to the skins, the league reimburses the players 50 mil. Either way, the players piece of the pie never got bigger. It remained the exact same. The only way the NFLPA gets on board is if the extra cap space goes above that clause amount, because then it does add to the players piece of the pie.
