Re: Official CBA Thread
They didn't sign a contract. They had a handshake agreement and took that proposal back to their sides. At that point, both sides can still make changes and bring back a different agreement that is aproved. But then that agreement has to be agreed to by the other side.When rookie Randall Cobb was told by this U.S. Marine that he was a big fan of the wide receiver, Cobb said, “I think I’m a bigger fan of yours.”Comment

Re: Official CBA Thread
That sounds very cumbersome and counter to how most collective bargaining is done. (at least here) Usually from the way I understand it an agreement is made and it's all drawn up and it's done as an up or down vote by the union and it's finalized or reworked based on the voting.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

In the interest of time, they have to agree on the deal as it's being done and addendum it up with changes where appropriate I think. The owners have ratified this deal, I am sure a committee or the commissioner has the leeway to make certain changes without it requiring another vote.
One of the overreactions last night was that this deal didn't contain everything agreed upon, that's because this is the rules governing how the NFL will play it's game under the new agreement, it's a new CBA for all intents and purposes. Things like changes to player punishment, benefits, etc can't really be hashed out until there's a union that the changes pertain to from what I understand. That along with the settlement of the various legal proceedings was never going to be part of what was voted on yesterday.Comment

Re: Official CBA Thread
Your last sentence is just spin, with these terms ratified the owners just laid out the ideal opening of the season, pending the players approval and the approval of known outstanding issues, nothing more.
Objectively, that is all that happened. The rest is hysteria, mob mentality meets twitter.Comment

Which is week old news.
PFT puts it best... there's no reason for this to be a surprise/last minute issue. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...cluded-in-cba/Last edited by mestevo; 07-22-2011, 01:35 PM.Comment

That sounds like what I said. If it is an up vote, they then finalize it. If it is a down vote by the union, we vote on line item things we want in or out(rework it based on voting) and it goes back to the other side.When rookie Randall Cobb was told by this U.S. Marine that he was a big fan of the wide receiver, Cobb said, “I think I’m a bigger fan of yours.”Comment

Re: Official CBA Thread
The NFLPA isn't a "union", so they can't enter into the CBA until they are an union again. I don't know why the players have a bunch of problems with the fact that the deal isn't complete, it is your fault that the deal isn't complete. If they recertify right now, the deal can be completed, but until that point it will always be incomplete.Comment

Re: Official CBA Thread
nothing happening until Monday
NFL Players Association representatives told players in a letter Friday to "stay put" this weekend while it reviews the owners' proposed settlement and that the reps would meet Monday to discuss their options.
Text of the letter, obtained by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter:
"Guys, To keep you abreast of the latest developments, we are reviewing the latest proposal for a settlement. Because of the passing of Myra Kraft in Boston, the NFLPA will not be making any public statements in honor of the Kraft family. Our recommendation is for everyone to stay put and keep doing what you are doing where you are doing it. We will meet again on Monday to discuss our options and the direction we want to go. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us. Thanks for your patience. Your Player Reps."Comment
