CRUCIAL NFL Labor talks resume today... Link inside

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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
