Not!

Players will debate and discuss but certainly will recertify as a union, but want lockout lifted asap once they approve settlement tonight

In nuts , I do expect players to approve settlement but lockout could be delayed if owners insist on waiting for recertification process
Players won't even talk about it until Monday is what I heard.
@wingozPer @Adamschefter a settlement regarding WR Vincent Jackson one thing that may be holding up deal.

Player reps emailed a letter to players saying, "We will meet again Monday to discuss our options and the direction we want to go."
If the owners lose 1-2 preseason games over this, they have only themselves to blame. This woulda been over weeks ago if they weren't asking the players to compromise so much.
This...and then trying to act like the deal was done, just to make the players look bad if they turn it down. Not taking sides, exactly, but that was a dumb move.
nothing is wrong with taking sides. The owners have clearly been the more greedy, s my, headed group during the lockout. The NFL needed little to no change to its CBA, it lost profit because of the bad economy but virtually every team is still making money. The owners acted like the NFL was in as much financial trouble as the NBA and the CBA needed radical change. Once the owners refused to give up the audited financial statements the players wanted, the lockout shoulda been over.
The owners have conceded more then we know to get a new CBA done. I believe revenue sharing for players is at 48%. I love how the NFLPA said the owners agreed on a CBA that they modified from their previous agreement yet also state they haven't read the CBA the owners agreed to. How can you claim the owners added to the CBA if you haven't read it? You have asshats like Chad Johnson probably doesn't know how to read but he'll tweet that he's getting screwed by the owners.
You have greedy blood sucking lawyers and gots like Vincent Jackson holding up the deal.
Players have more to lose then the owners. If they want their paycheck then get with the program. I'm not on either side but this is gone on way too ing long.
yeah sure
"These owners have been graciousin conceding certain things for a new CBA
what gracious in billionaires
"
not a f'in dime DoK, not a f'in dime!!!
uh, uh
What he said
Upgraded to ESPN today, cause I figured NFL is back. It betta happen. Don't wanna waste money.
Owners turning the screws on the players. They've done a good job painting the players as complete ing morons.
Of course you're going to come to a vote a lot sooner with a group of 32 than with a group of roughly 2000.
BTW, the 31-0 vote should tell you who got ed in this deal. But the interesting thing, as always it seems, is Davis abstaining. I'd love to know why.
Perhaps it was a unanimous vote because this is something that has been worked on for months? Its not like the CBA was thrown together yesterday and voted on.

Looks like is finally coming together. Lets see if the players vote to earn some paychecks this season.
Greedy mofos
FML. Was hoping there would be no FB this year...
NBA, get you act together. I think I would have to detach myself from TV if I had to endure the NFL babble without pro basketball games...
