Then another, then another.
Not sure if there's that much "progress". -
Re: Deadline extended
It's not progress in itself...but it's a sign that the negotiations have indeed progressed. I doubt they'd bother to extend the deadline for a week or two unless they're actually close to finishing a deal.Originally posted by Mr. Miyagi"Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: Deadline extended
if anything it gives the fans hope.
The question is and remains can 2 spoiled groups find a compromise in the end.

Re: Deadline extended
I believe I read that next friday is the drop dead date, which means we will either have an agreement or have a lockout, no more extensions.Lets Go Buffalo!!!!Comment

"An agreement will be made by negotiation, not litigation" I can't remember who said that, but it is true. As long as they are talking, that is a very good thing.Comment

Re: Deadline extended
Sorry to say this, but unless free agency continues, an "extension" without a new CBA at this time of year is pretty much meaningless.Comment

The draft will most likely happen before free agency this year, but free agency will happen before camp starts IMO.Originally posted by Johnny BugmenotComment

Re: Deadline extended
Up until yesterday, I always figured the league would be smart enough to get this thing figured out. Then it looked like we were going to lockout. The news that they extended it gives reason for legitimate hope. Someone is going to have to get creative with some of these ideas in the next week though...Comment

Re: Deadline extended
No way that a lockout happens...A deal won't get done until the last minute possible though.

Re: Deadline extended
I'm glad they agreed to an extension of the deadline, but I still wonder why the owners aren't down there during the negotiations. The CBA will only get finalized once the owners go down there and until we see reports of them headed down to the negotiations, I'm not holding out any hope.

Re: Deadline extended
free agency lasts usually from early march , and into the season (if bodies are still out there looking for work)
the only thing that will affect the first two waves of free agent signings are if there's a prolonged work stoppage , or if this extension crap lasts up until the draftComment
