The defensive end racked up a career-high 12 1/2 sacks and earned his first Pro Bowl berth. But all his hard work may not pay off in a multimillion dollar deal.
NFL labor strife will likely mean Babin won’t be wined and dined on an owner’s private jet during free agency.
With the collective bargaining agreement expiring March 3, Babin and other would-be free agents face the very real possibility that they get ordered back to their old teams at the bargain basement price of 120 percent of their last salary. Play another season, risk serious injury. And wait."

I don't know man. I would think the players would not agree
to this, as part of whatever they end up agreeing on. I would
think this element will be part of the negotiations, because
having FA go down to this would be a giant rip off to so many
of the players. I can't see them agreeing to this.
