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.

    • You all make some great points.  I love the OT Trapilo pick but it is a round too soon.  Tells me someone is doing their homework.  He is a solid pass blocking RT and we need pass blockers to keep Bryce nice. About S--I want an early S too, but Richardson was not bad when he played.  Most players improve the most between years 1 and 2.  There are some decent safeties in this draft later, so maybe I have been looking at the Corvettes in the showroom when I should have been kicking tires in the used SUV lot. Regardless, with Moton's knee concerns, age, contract, etc.  I really would like to see us draft a legit starting-caliber, second tier OT now.  I watched Trapoli at the Sr Bowl and he has really strong pass pro form.  33" arms (OK) and he is 6'8".  There are others I like as well: Cam Williams, Texas Donovan Jackson, Ohio St. Charles Grant, W&M Anthony Belton, NC State Emory Jones, LSU Our coaching staff just showed us how they can develop young players.  Wait until the third or fourth and get one of these guys.  Take a year to prepare them.  Sign BC to another 1-year contract for insurance.  If our OL coaches are an asset and they have a year to work with one of these OTs above, let them do their jobs. In that second round pick slot, maybe we can get that Safety--might have to move up a bit--I would not be surprised to see a draft day trade of Zavala.  If other teams were scouting us properly, they should have seen a potential starter buried on the depth chart.
