Lockout almost over says newspaper source...


Recommended Posts

A deal to end the National Football League's lockout is almost complete, according to an NFL source.

According to an the source, owners and players were close to an agreement today to end the lockout, which entered its 86th day today.

Some coaches and players have been contacted about returning to work probably early next week and as soon as this weekend.

I'm kinda skeptic but apparently talks have been going well. If this is true I guess they've been going better than I thought.

This is good news. I heard there was a motion to dismiss the Brady et. all vs. NFL case earlier in the week, and that came on the coattails of details that a settlement was being reached.

I believe the strong arm lawyer tactics backfired like hell on the players, and now they realized they genuinely need to deal, and be willing to accept compromise.

hope this is true...but main story on side of nfl.com says robert kraft says talks are good but have long ways to go.... gah just end it!

Yeah same goes for the PFT article about it, I find it funny that Kraft said that yet The Tribune is a Massachusetts based paper...would be funny if that source was with the Patriots

Edit: Here's the link for the PFT

Well honestly, if the owners and players are stupid enough to leave all the revenue on the table for this year, then they are beyond stupid.

NFL, too, big time with gambling...and we know who runs that business despite what nice front is put on it....and believe me, I gamble anyway, even knowing who runs it.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
