CBA Lifting. This is rough info, I will flesh it out as I can.

Today the NFLPA leaders will vote to recommend the CBA deal.

Today the plaintiffs of the anti-trust suit will agree to settlements.

This week doors will open at NFL Facilities.

This week players will sign union cards to recertify the NFLPA.

Once NFLPA is back in business a vote for ratification of the CBA takes place.

Players need 50%+1 guy to ratify new CBA

Football will be safe for 7-10 years.

Tidbits of CBA. (can become thread later)

No opt out being reported. 10 years of peace.

I'm not understanding this. So you can fly in a UFA tomorrow and start negotiating a deal with them, but they can't sign until Friday? Does that mean that 72 hour exclusive window for signing your own free agents is at the same time that they're being courted by other teams?

BTW, great job kurb.

There is conflicting reports on the UFA's. Some say you can start talking on Tuesday others are saying not until later in the week.

    • Cam Jordan was on Good Morning Football.  A player like Cam (lifelong Saint and a great ambassador for any team--I like him a lot) could be used by the Saints to create a smokescreen.  He denied that the Saints would take a QB in the first round, claiming that it has not been done since Manning in 1971 (paraphrasing)... It seems to me, (conspiracy theory forthcoming) that bit of information would have to have been researched/premeditated/planned.  Was he attempting to scoff at the concept that the Saints would draft a QB at #10?  Remember, Carr missed 7 games last year and had a 63.something QB rating.  He was not believed to be returning in 2025.  When the Saints thought that one of the top 2 Qbs were not going to be there at #10, they did not take advantage of the void clause in his contract, the way I understand it.  That means they continued to kick the Carr contract down the road.  In 2026, Carr's cap number is $69m--nearly a quarter of the cap for a 35-year old QB they do not want.  He is to be paid a $40m salary with a $10m roster bonus. While I am not a capologist, it is interesting if they really like Shedeur. All that matters is the perception that the Saints will take him at 10. If the Giants pass on him, and I think they likely will, Sanders could draw interest from the Raiders (I do not see it) at 6 or the Jets at 7 (more likely, but still unlikely).  The Panthers are the most likely trade partner--unless the Jets want to move back.  So who may realistically trade up for a qb?  The Colts (14), but there is no noise about them taking a QB and I do not think they have shown interest--instead, a competition between Richardson and Jones is the plan.  The Steelers (21) are in play, and the Rams are in play.  There is, however, another option for Carolina as a trade partner--The Saints.  A draft day switch for a third rounder might keep the Panthers targeting their player at 8 and add a pick in the process, suggesting they do not want to move back--but I get the impression that the Panthers are looking to move back.  
    • I said this a week ago and someone said it's idiotic basically  bc they want Rodgers. Newsflash,  Rodgers is a 1 year bandaid at most and if he gets hurt, Pittsburgh  has nothing else  but just traded for Metcalf.  I still think Shedaur may go to the Giants tho. Feels its a battle in the front office on him. We will see but I'd gladly take that trade package lol
