The new deal between Tony Romo and CBS is a monumental moment in television history and Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints is using it as a ploy against the NFL. Following the news, Thomas had a strong response to the new CBA after the Romo deal.

The NFL and NFLPA have been discussing a new CBA in recent months and it's nearing completion. Nearly a week ago, the owners chose to accept the conditions of the proposed CBA. Then, earlier this week, the NFLPA player representatives voted in favor of the new CBA.

Now, the final vote will be decided by the players in the NFL, like Thomas. On Friday night, it was reported that Romo was going to make $17 million a year on his new contract with CBS.

This prompted the Saints star to take to Twitter to express his opinion on the matter:

The most vital details in the proposed CBA is the idea of extending the regular season to 17 games and increased benefits to players. However, the revenue share for players is expected to see a slight increase from 47 percent.

Despite the idea of a revenue increase, Romo is slated to make more as an analyst than 90 percent of the players in the NFL. Of course, this is something that hasn't sat well among the players in the league.

In the coming days, players in the league will receive their ballots for the proposed CBA. It remains to be seen if Romo's new deal persuades more players, like the Saints' wide receiver, to vote against the new plan.
