That's it. In that situation, Brady and a few players won't hold up a deal and starting the season. Yes, the process steps may take time but everyone wants to get to work. There isn't anyone other than the lawyers holding things up. And we know that both the Owners and Players have squashed the lawyers when they get in the way.

Put it this way, the CBA will get voted on tomorrow by both sides. It may still be tangled into the legal cases, but the deal will be approved. The sides are agreeing to the details of the CBA, the legal cases are really a separate issue.

I understand what your saying. It looks like a lot of this rides on what happens tomorrow. What has me thinking 2 to 3 weeks is something Jeff Pash said. He isn't feeling too optimistic about this thing being over in time to save the Hall of Fame game. There is a pretty good chance that game will be scrapped. After following this thing pretty closely for quite some time, I'm finding it hard to not be inclined to believing him on that particular subject. But that's just my take on it.

They have to all agree between themselves first... If 9 of the 32 owners don't like the deal, it won't even get to the players.

The onwers are voting on the CBA. The players will be voting on the CBA + a settlement to the legal cases. In reality, the players have already reportedly agreed with the deal.

The players are holding up an official vote so they can get the legal cases settled.
