I’d bet the package of amenities and facilities does play a factor into many players’ decision making. |

And what have the Raiders won recently?
Maybe more comfort isn't conducive to success. |

The wild thing about the NFLPA is how they do the annual piss and moan about artificial turf, but when we have the NFL combine and upcoming free agency, the teams that play on turf are never described as a place a player would not want to play for because their home field playing surface.

i hope the chiefs downgrade the practice facility locker room
the players shouldn't want to spend time in there - you have better things to do than powder your jockstrap next thing you know they'll want recliners in the meeting rooms |

You're telling me someone is turning down more money over a ****ing practice facility ��
They have no control where they are drafted and FA decisions are based on how much money they get....PERIOD. I've also never heard of a trade blocked over it either "home town discounts " and "caring about practice facilities " simply don't exist in any imactful way |

They cared about salary. Car, bonuses, annual profit distributions, gold plated healthcare - didn't matter. We were losing folks to higher salaries that actually offered less total compensation over a 12 month timeline. So we stopped. Just said 'screw it - let them come to us after a couple years and ask for some of that stuff. If it's salary that gets them to yes, change the salary and make the rest of it worse...' It ended up 1-2% cheaper for us to just pay higher salaries with lesser benefits. And in so doing, we had better success getting people hired. It just wasn't worth the headache to swim upstream anymore so we didn't. The vast vast VAST majority of people make that choice on salary. The rest of it is something that may impact job satisfaction and retention later on down the road. But to get people in the door, it was salary that mattered and I don't suspect football players are much different. |
