QUALIFIER COMMITTEE REACHES AGREEMENT: According to a report by Daniel Kaplan in the SportsBusiness Journal, the NFL's qualifier committee formed to come up with a way to allow needy teams to draw on a league revenue sharing pool reached an agreement late Sunday. Buffalo is one of the teams that is on the committee. The details of the system devised are not yet known.
The formula reached by the qualifier committee still must be approved by 24 of the 32 NFL owners to be ratified. If not then Commissioner Roger Goodell would have to decide on the issue. All signs however, point to an approval.
It's certainly positive that a resolution was finally reached. It will be very interesting to see what the details are.
