Nil players owners far apart on new pact by Michael Janofsky new York not when the chief labor negotiators for the National football league players and owners exchanged opening proposals for a new collective bargaining agreement two weeks ago they gave each other documents that reflected vast differences in How they think professional football s economic sys tem should operate. In generate league s proposal would perpetuate the status quo with a system thai would control salary limits and the ability of a player to move from one team to another at the conclusion of his contract obligation. The Union s proposal would create a new system one in which a player could increase his earning Poten tial Wilh contract guarantees and like employees in most other industries have a say in choosing where he works. The two proposals copies of which have been obtained by the new York times also reflect opposing views of drug testing As pan of an Overall chemical dependency program. Management which had the right to test players at the beginning of a season and anytime thereafter upon reasonable cause favors the additional step of unscheduled testing. The Union proposal insists there Wilt not be any spot testing for substance abuse or dependency. The Gulf Between the proposals was evident within hours after they were exchanged at the opening negotiating session m Washington. In turn the chief negotiators Gene Upshaw of the players association and Jack Donlynn of the league s management Council addressed reporters in a news conference and each spoke respectfully with note of the rhetoric that characterized such appearances in 1982, when the last bar gaining agreement was negotiated. That change in one seemed to suggest one or two unusual possibilities. One is that the negotiating sea son ahead May unfold in a manner unlike before when Donlad and de Garvey to pshaw s predecessor argued As much about personalities As issues. The other is that differences in the proposals arc so vast that Only a serious attempt to Bridge them would prevent another strike. The Union proposal includes several novel concepts including a More traditional interpretation of the word the Union would require Boih the club As Well As the player to Honor the length of the contract which Means if a player signs for three years the team would be obligated Tor the full amount of the contract even if the player is later Cul. In effect that would guarantee the contract of every player in the league. The proposal also eliminates three major impediments to the form of free Agency the players Wani the option year on a contract which effectively ties the player to a team in perpetuity first refusal rights to he player s old team if a new one makes him an offer an compensation for the old team by the new earn if a player moves on. The Union proposal also includes a club incentives those a program which is a system designed to rewards clubs thai make he playoffs. Such a system the proposal says would create for the clubs a meaning Ful incentive to improve their teams through the acquisition and or re signing of Veteran free the program would award the super bowl Winner s3,5 million the loser j2.5 million and so on. If the Overall effect of the Union s proposals in these areas would help increase a player s mobility and compensation package then Many of the management Sec Lions would appear designed to reduce or keep it at current Levels. These Are among them option year renewals would be reduced to 109 percent. For the last five years a team was required to pay a player at least 110 percent of his previous salary in an option year. A new stipulation would be added saying that any player who his failed or refused to participate in a postseason game would not be paid for it. In Ibe cur rent agreement no such condition exists. The new agreement would set Forth entry level wage Scales which would create minimum Levels for Rookie contracts taking into account base salaries and bonuses. The draft would be extended through 1997 and increased to is rounds from the current 12. By now each Side he had ample Opportunity 10 review the other s ideas. Within a few Days the next Negolia Iiri session is i peeled to be scheduled. By the time they sit Down again and near each other s re actions hey will have an even better idea of just How far apart they Are
