Per PFT, citing Chris Mortensen. The NFL still has to agree before it goes into effect.

Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Cohen has persuaded the union to agree to a 7-to-10-day extension. Now, the league needs to consent to a pushing of the deadline back by a week or more.

The disclosure means that someone has violated the vow of silence, and in turn has placed public pressure on ownership to agree to the extension. At this point, it will be difficult if not impossible for the league to not agree to extend the deadline and implement a lockout as of 12:00 a.m. Saturday.

That said, Mort reports that “major differences” between the two sides remain.

nobody knows how to bring two politically opposed sides together like congress.

"I'm from the government and I'm here to help" :eek:

I'd say it's not so much any actual assistance the government could offer as it is the threat of government involvement that would spur the NFL to action.

As mentioned elsewhere, there are few things the NFL fears, but government involvement is pretty high on the list.

Would they back down on some of their issues to keep the government from getting involved? I'd say it's possible.

Remember a couple of years ago when the NFL network wanted to only show a critical Eagles playoff implications game on the NFL Network, just until a senator mentioned it may force him to look into antitrust issues with it.... NFL changed their tune immediately.

This extension is a good sign only in the fact that it gives them more time to work something out. I am not convinced they ultimately will work something out, but at least it gives us another week of hope.

Not having the NFL, aside from the suckary or not watching it, would have a terrible impact on Charlotte. Think about how much money is spent on Sundays at the stadium, bars, etc. How much Panthers merchandise sales will be lost? How many hotels will lose money from visiting fans (lord knows the stadium will be filled with them).

Having one of these peering over your shoulder helps.

Rockefeller has mentioned how Congress might offer "assistance" a couple of times now.

I think they should if these spoiled children can't figure it out on their own.

I heard a guy from the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce yesterday say that a Panthers game brings Charlotte about 8 million, per game. Businesses in Charlotte and other cities can't afford to miss out on that kind of revenue because these guys can't figure out how to split up 9 billion dollars....

You know Obama didn't have a 'happy happy, joy joy' tone to his voice when mentioning he didn't want to get involved. Came across to me as 'You guys REALLY don't want me involved in this'.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
