NFL - The NFL Players Association and the league's owners have reached
agreement on the remaining points needed in their 10-year labor deal,
sources from both sides said.
Despite the fact the new agreement
will require a majority vote from the players, that part of the deal
between the two sides is considered a formality, according to sources.
The NFLPA is making plans for a major press conference Monday. But
first the player reps' executive committee was scheduled to fly to
Washington, D.C., on Sunday so they can vote Monday.
Just as the
NFL would not have called a vote Thursday in Atlanta without knowing it
would pass in the way it did -- 31-0 with one abstention -- the NFLPA
would also not be going forward without that assurance.
Finally this shit is going to be behind us. Let the free agency madness begin so I can start planning my fantasy draft.
