Even if it\u2019s easy to prove, the penalty would be a slap on the wrist. If that much.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, negotiating with someone who is not an NFLPA-certified agent results in no penalty for a first offense, and a measly $62,000 fine for all violations thereafter. (It\u2019s $47,000 in 2020 with a five percent increase for each year of the current CBA, starting in 2021.)<\/p>\n<p>Still, at some point, someone needs to take a stand. Even if it\u2019s only a $62,000 fine, the mere fact of securing a ruling that Jones violated the CBA would make it clear to fans and the media (many of whom seem to think it\u2019s OK to ignore a player\u2019s agent during negotiations) that Jones and the Cowboys are in the wrong on this.<\/p>\n<p>Because they absolutely are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yes, the NFL and\/or the NFL Players Association should do something about Cowboys owner and G.M.
