Schefter:

This is getting more interesting than most thought. Three sources: Extension of talks now a definite possibility.

Retweeted by gantt:

Just heard from #MajorBigTime NFL insider: "Hearing some crazy things. Hearing this thing could be extended, but I don't just don't know."

Several sources are saying that the deadline could be extended...this is definitely a better outcome than decertification and a lockout.

Also, in light of the good news I won't mention that I called this last night...lol.

Sources coming...

duh.

Oh and this means Free agency does start but with no Cap again and players need 6 years to be a URFA. It would also mean I presume all tags are valid and stay in place.

So JR free agency is going to start, you are gonna have to actually spend some money or lose out.

This is a delay tactic. The owners bluff was called. The union intended to decertify today if the deadline wasn't moved. The owners did what they had to do to prevent this from going to court. This could be bad news for fans if a resolution is not found, because delaying the deadline, delays the decertification, which delays the court cases, which delays the judgement.

It's pretty apparent the owners aren't going to give, but let's just hope that the judgement in Minnesota concerning the TV contracts openned the owners eyes to exactly what they will face during antitrust lawsuits that will result from decertification....

Just remember Judge Doty's ruling was meaningless...

It is... The owners will either extend or just lock out and wait for the ruling to be overturned. No other judge will side with the owners and if I had to guess he is one of Smiths friends.

I didn't even consider that...I wonder if that's how it would work? I would assume so, especially since other teams are signing extensions left and right. With that said...I think free agency would get pushed back as well.

LOL and what is that? Wahhh you don't pay me enough? What are they really going to win? you can't hold the owners to the current pay salary because the CBA expired.

What it does is put hundreds of players in limbo as they can't move from team to team because that would be collusion.

Time to deal with reality, the billionaire owners are successful business men for a reason. They aren't afraid of the NFLPA, court, congress or anything. They know exactly what they are doing and the end result will be, the players have to come back to the table as a union (which they must have to get free agency etc) and take what the owners demand. This is a waste of time for everyone, the end result is the same = owners win

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
