It looks as if the NFL lockout is just about over. The owners have approved a settlement and new 10-year collective bargaining agreement. Sounds like it time to break out the confetti right? Not so fast, the NFL Players Association has to re-certify and get the players to sign off on this new deal. It’s being said that the players aren’t happy with the deal as presented but have been painted into a corner by the owners.
Fact remains, we’re closer than we’ve been. I hope something can be worked out so we don’t lose any games. The estimated date that an agreement would need to be signed in order to prevent the loss of any preseason games is July 31st.
Until it’s all resolved, check out what the owners are proposing:
July 23 Waivers begin for the 2011 League Year.
