I'm aware of the possibility of a lockout, but haven't really read into it too much.

My question is, I'm not really clear on what happens after the CBA runs out on March 3rd. Do the NFL and NFLPA continue talks after the 3rd to get a deal done in hopes of playing the 2011-12 season? Or do they have to wait until the next calender year to get a new deal done and play the 2012-13 season?

They don't even have to lock the players out after the March 3 deadline. They can call an impasse, force the offer that was on the table at the time of impasse on the players, and operate under the impasse. Which would mean the players would be the ones that would either just eat it or go on strike.

I know my link is to PFT, but it makes a lot of sense for the owners to make the players responsible for no football and avoid the PR hit from it.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
