There is a growing belief inside league circles that the NFL and NFL Players Association will have an agreement in place that can be ratified during the July 21 league meetings in Atlanta, according to sources familiar with the state of negotiations. So they do believe there is no reason to not get a deal done.
We took a big stem today, finally we have come to an agreement on an NFL rookie wage scale.(kinda) It has been long enough for the ongoing negotiations.
Adam Shefter is reporting that the owners and players have come to some sort of an agreement, it has not been fully ratified, there are still many t's to cross and i's to dot. But this has become no longer a "major issue".
They have confidence (owners and players) an agreement is evident. There is a document, known as "The Transition Rules". This is something that owners and players would have to follow when, and if they do come to a new agreement for a CBA (Collective Barging Agreement) .
With "The Transition Rules", it is being reported that this is a very structured document,there is a timeline on when everything should begin. Such as the start of the new league year.
Which it has as July 28 being the open market for eligible free agents (Which would be the start of the new league year ), this is the time the teams will be able to acquire players eligible to be a free agent.
"The Transition Rules" also would include a designated period for teams to sign undrafted free agent rookies, a pool that routinely provides productive and even star players. As all buccaneer fans know, Mark Dominik will be routinely plucking his diamonds in the rough from that pool.
But that does leave a very insufficient time for the two teams to be ready for the Hall of Fame Game.
But I mean who really cares, I could care less if the Hall of Fame Game gets played or it doesn't get played. If we have a total agreement by July 28, I will be one happy fan, as everyone else will be as well.
Well we are just one step closer to having football back!
