    WHOA lots of details on the new CBA and timeline

    Owners approve potential labor deal; await players vote

    ATLANTA -- NFL owners voted Thursday to settle their labor dispute with players and end the lockout they began in March, but the deal is not done yet.

    As of XXX, players still had not cast the votes needed to settle their lawsuits or approve a new collective bargaining agreement, two key steps to restoring NFL labor peace and bringing on practices, free agent signings and trades

    Not yet.

    I'm watching NFL Network which is live and the owners are on a break and will go back in to vote on it soon. But live TV is showing them not meeting right now.

        I think that's the players' conference call

            Channel 4 News saying the owners have not voted yet and Arthur Blank is positive that something will get done tonight.

              I think it is a safe bet Ralph will vote against it.

                I don't think 2 hours is enough time for him to read it.

                So you know Ralph and the dude from the Bengals are saying no to it.

                  I'm not seeing this anywhere else, so looks like philly.com jumped the gun.

                  Update: They've removed it

                    It's actually a retraction of the cap figure from 128 mill or more to 120 but it's also a guaranteed floor of between 90 and 100%... I think it's 50/50.

                    If I had to guess, I'd say he will vote against it and you may hear him and the brass complain about having to spend to reach the new floor.

                      Nah...it'll be "I didn't understand it. They didn't give me enough time."

                      We'll all blast him for this viewpoint and then in 2 years this deal with somehow be bad and we'll give him props for voting against it.

                      Oh wait, that did happen already. Deja Vu anyone?

                        I agree that that is likely what Ralph will say. But his brass will take it farther and whine about small market blah, blah, blah.

                        BTW, why is anyone listening to an organization who wants to operate differently and continue to not make the playoffs after over a decade? Build through the draft? What happened to the last decade worth of drafts? Personally I'm glad that the league will be forcing us to ante up and spend about what everyone else does. I'd rather spend and have the chance to succeed and fail then never to spend at all.

                        Quit trying to out smart yourselves, your record shows you haven't been smart since Polian left.

                        No, I see this as a new direction and a new day for the Bills... even if they whine and complain about it.

                          Right, and I'm using a different method which is saying pretty much what you are. The Owners are on an extended break. I'm reading that they will vote once they go back in. They are waiting for something, but no one knows what yet I don't think. It may be possible that the vote may not even occur today, and may extend into tomorrow.

                            The owners are leaving after they vote. I don't see them waiting till tomorrow. I think they will vote today.

                              Per Sal, Ralph is not at the meetings. Russ Brandon is in his place.
                              COMING SOON...
