It seems as though if you have a brother who is also an NFL player, that increases your likelihood that you are against the NFL’s proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement. A pair of brothers in the league has already spoken out against it or implied their opposition, including the Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt and Maurkice Pouncey. The latter did so in rather colorful language.
Pouncey and his brother, Mike Pouncey, are both decorated and highly-compensated interior offensive linemen who have had 10- and nine-year NFL careers, respectively. According to Over the Cap, Maurkice has collected over $66 million so far (under contract for another $16 million), while Mike has earned around $55 million (and is under contract for $6 million in 2020).
