Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is optimistic that a new collective bargaining agreement can be reached by Wednesday's deadline.
"There is no internal issue in the NFL, none that would have prevented us from having a deal done this weekend," Jones said Saturday. "It's between the league and the players association."
A day after NFL Players Association president Gene Upshaw told agents that a deal would not likely get done, Jones said major progress has been made.

Getting a Collective Bargaining Agreement extension before the deadline isn't as impossible as it sounded not long ago. In fact, word is that an extension could be announced in the very near future.
In late-breaking news Saturday night, a Scout.com source at the NFL Combine reports that members of one NFL organization are telling their staff that there is a very strong chance that the CBA will be extended by the deadline. Significant recent progress has been made, according to the source.
In a somewhat related matter, an NFL source has told Scout.com that the 2006 salary cap will be announced on Monday and according to this source, will be $95 million. This is on the high end of what was expected - most estimates were anywhere from $92 to $95 million.

PFT also says it will get done, but they think FA will be pushed back a week or so. Though it seems like some of them are confident that they will get the deal done by Wednesday's deadline.
