From what I gathered from reading the article they need to end this by next Tuesday at the latest so that it doesn't effect training camps or pre-season games. Also they say that free agency MUST begin by no later than July 17th.

If these deadlines are not met, training camps won't go as planned and pre-season games will be missed. In Essense, the next 7 days are the most important to get a deal done... If one is not made, the rest of the regular offseason activities will be disrupted.

Everybody say a prayer and cross your fingers... We may be very close to the end here, barring any kind of further jack assery!

There's the link. I found it on my phone, so it's a mobile version. If you're at a CPU you can find it over at ESPN.

Just wanted to keep everybody informed

Edit: Rayzor or anybody else that follows twitter... Keeping us updated would be awesome!

Here's what Today and Tomorrow are going to be about.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6738786

Negotiations between the NFL and NFL players resume Tuesday in New York but the first two days are designated for work done by both sides' lawyers, primarily on the language of a potential agreement.

There is no expectation that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith will be participating together in the talks until Thursday and Friday when the lead negotiating teams resume their face-to-face discussions.

Sources on both sides continue to maintain that there remains significant work to be completed after negotiations almost disintegrated last week before "getting back on track." The same sources say that an agreement is within reach but unlikely to be achieved this week.

However, the attorneys' work on language is aimed at an expedited finishing process in the event the two sides do strike an agreement, which appears to be more likely next week.

Both sides agree that negotiations are delicate and potentially fragile.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By frankw · Posted

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
