I know how you all feel. I need football real bad. If the deal does not get done today--I can virtually guarantee it will be complete tomorrow. The owner's don't want this to go into the weekend and the player's are running out of excuses. Let's get this season underway.

Free agency is going to be frantic --can't wait to see it.

The players are stalling to minimize the amount of time they are in training camp.

And some actually thought that the players were the good guys.

Good Point...and they can push that envelop just so far before it results in losing pre-season games from the schedule. Which in turn can trickle down to lose of reg season games.

I don't blame the players-it's freakin hot in training camp, but the risk of injury due to improper preparation is a greater evil in my opinion.

I predict the defenses are going to control the game for the first 4-6 weeks of the season. Defense is instinctive-the offense takes time to perfect, time that they have not had so far this year.

Not really... I'm sure it'll be one if those games that requires u to update your system and download roster updates b4 u even can play the game online...

All he'll have to do is put different players on different teams... The uniforms will synch up automatically...

Quite possible but I read that the players will be voting after the owners do. My opinion they didnt vote yesterday just to get the final say today. Either way it goes those fuggin players are freakin hilarious :rolleyes:

Now they are saying that they must recertify the union to vote....and that it will take 2 weeks to get all of the cards signed and back in.

Pathetic attempt at stalling by the players. We all know they hate the preseason and don't actually get paid for it....they get reg season game checks. Shorten the pre-season and they are happy.

Wonder what kind of jobs if any would these players have if they were not playing football and making millions?

Probably at lest 40% of them would have a job that included the phrases..

Do you want fries with that.....

Or, Welcome to Wal-mart....

Adam Schefter says the owners will probably vote, then send it to the players with an ultimatum. Not really surprising, but it could put some pressure on the players.

@adamschefter

Told this is "very likely true." RT @dkaplanSBJ: Owners will vote on global deal today and hand it off to players to say sign or don't sign.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
