I'm betting some owners with specific players in mind aren't happy with that one, like many I'm thinking this is about to get to a level of ugly we've never seen before.

Yep. Either it will get much better very quickly or it will degenerate into voiding contracts, cancelling the season and starting fresh with a fantasy draft in June.

Ugly times. If anything other sports leagues have learn via the NHL how not to run and manage a pro league.
