    NFL owners have been told by the league to be prepared to vote on the new collective bargaining agreement between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET, multiple sources said. Even though there may not be settlements on issues such as workman's compensation, the television damages lawsuit that is before Judge David Doty and the Tom Brady antitrust lawsuit against the NFL, owners are ready to move on and try to move forward on the issues that have been agreed upon, sources said. One of the problems is that owners won't know for sure how players will vote on recertifying the union. Player reps gave a conditional vote Wednesday to move forward with the current agreements, but there still has to be a league-wide vote of players to come back as a union. With 1,900 players expected to vote, it is not known how long it would take before players could get the 50 percent-plus-one vote needed to come back as a union and accept the 10-year bargaining agreement.
