NFL Owners, Players Reach Deal On Remaining Points Of 10-Year CBA To End Lockout

The NFL's players association and owners groups have reached agreement on the remaining points needed in their 10-year labor deal, sources from both sides said. Despite the fact the new deal will require a majority vote from the players, that part of the deal between the two sides is considered a formality, according to sources. The NFLPA is making plans for a major press conference Monday, but first the player reps' executive committee is scheduled to fly to Washington, D.C., on Sunday so they can vote Monday. Just as the NFL would not have called a vote Thursday in Atlanta without knowing it would pass in the way it did -- 31-0 with one abstention -- the NFLPA would also not be going forward without that assurance and no CBA has ever been turned down by the players when approved by leadership. Once the players ratify the deal, training camp and free agency are likely to begin the same day, in what would be the equivalent of merging Thanksgiving and Christmas into one holiday.
