Get as much money as you possibly can up front and guaranteed. I would not bet on any kind of long term payout from this league.

And it's also nice to see that a league with much less money than the NFL is willing to pay the guy who's not even really in charge almost as much as Goodell?
Is Vince going to try to get the players to work for the proverbial handshake and a hot dog?
I mean, I know stadium hot dogs are expensive but...

There's a model for attracting talent that worked for the USFL: pay rookies more. The current NFL rookie pay scale makes that at least for some key players.
The biggest issue they'll face is getting on TV. The major networks have no incentive to draw attention to a competitor with long term deals in place and most cable companies share a parent company with those networks.
Torn between being happy we're one step closer to him being out of the league, and being sad he's clearly never going to throw a pass in a regular season game in the league, which means no NFL fan gets to share in the misery I experienced at Penn State
He also alludes to the T.O. element to this holdout as being something that might drive a rift between Jones and the Falcons.
“The fact that he’s running around with Terrell Owens has the front office uneasy. The fact that he’s held out and is kind of bucking the whole Brotherhood thing has them a little bit uneasy, too. So, they’ll have to mend some fences, no question about it, once he returns.”

Of all the petty, stupid shit. Oh no, he's hardballing them in negotiations and practicing with someone they don't like, these must be related and it's a direct offense to the team and he owes them an apology!

It's like... what are they a highschool clique now?
Things the NFL front offices don't like: players that understand how good they are and the salary value they're worth

In all fairness, did TO not prove himself to be a gigantic pain in the ass on every team he played for? Did he not have a history of throwing his teammates and coaches under the bus whenever times got difficult?

Jeff Garcia was actually a pretty well-liked player, IIRC.
But all of this is neither here nor there, frankly. The real point is fuck the Atlanta Falcons for trying to dictate who Julio Jones is friends with. Friends. Whether you like Terrell Owens or not, Julio Jones has a right to be his friend and hang out with him, and if you think that Terrell Owens is going to somehow corrupt probably the quietest, humblest WR superstar the league has seen in years (along with Calvin Johnson), then you're just as much a patronizing silly goose as NFL owners are. I'd be more concerned with Beckham Jr hanging out with himself than I'd be with Jones hanging out with Owens.
4 Pro Bowls though, 3 with the 49ers and 1 with the Buccs. After 5 seasons in the CFL to boot. Garcia was legitimately good, but he got injured a bunch at unfortunate times and because he was a CFL transplant, he never had the cachet of being a 1st round pick nor the scouts/coaches/GMs/personnel people that'd champion him. Kinda the same stuff that stopped Doug Flutie from getting anywhere in the NFL, though Garcia wasn't quite as short as Flutie.

Garcia also had a great partial season in Philly when he relived an injured McNabb which got him the starting job in Tampa. Garcia wasn't a hall of famer but he had a fine career.
Owens' mocking him was based entirely on him having a soft speaking voice.

Terrell Owens. Terrell Owens talked shit about Jeff Garcia, in particular about his being gay.
Also, Jeff Garcia isn't gay
Jeff Garcia was a Browns QB
Just going to leave that there
