NFL article on it.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8213391d/article/league-players-still-negotiating-drug-testing-discipline-issues?module=HP11_headline_stack

The NFL and NFL Players Association have been in round-the-clock negotiations since Saturday as they try to hammer out the remaining pieces of the collective bargaining agreement in advance of Thursday's scheduled start of the 2011 league year.

The parties debated the topics of drug testing, benefits and the player-conduct policy disciplinary process late into the night Wednesday before calling it quits with just a few points to finish off. They'll be back at it early Thursday, and the expectation is that the sides will get it done in time for players to vote on the deal at the various training camps. A majority vote is needed among all the league's players for the deal to go through.

The league year is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, the time at which players who signed new contracts will be allowed to practice for the first time if the players approve the CBA.

Several teams have moved their practice times until after 4 p.m. ET so newly signed players can participate.

Among the players' concerns in the CBA is how human growth hormone testing would be implemented, but NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reported Thursday that there would be no HGH testing in the final CBA, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Sources also revealed to La Canfora that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would retain his power over off-field discipline but that some changes would be made to how he handles disciplines for on-field issues.

Sounds like some petty minor stuff.

      Who were we going to trade up with? The Dolphins wanted Proctor, the Rams were vehement on taking Ty Simpson, the Ravens wanted Ioane, and the Bucs werent trading with us except for maybe a kings ransom. Even if we wanted to move, we had no partner. Moot point.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      Devin Lloyd is a stud lb but who is next to him? Prince and Nic should improve. Lee was super value but i am not counting this fourth round chicken yet. I would expect some improvement; hope to eat my words w/ a top ten D.

      I mean I agree about diminished Cam probably still being viable. Even though it gave a preview of how teams would defend the pass against a limited QB. There was an issue with the upcoming contract he was due to get and his expectations vs the new reality of his physical status - that people tend to  overlook when looking back on it  It had an effect on things I believe   But I do have to ask… what about Tepper’s second major move? fuging clueless   I mean I would take even an injured  Cam over Bryce all day long.
