I've heard both Wednesday and Thursday multiple times today (even Friday once or twice). I suspect facilities open up on Wednesday and full practice starts Thursday. Maybe??

Starting to hear now there will be no opt-out. So this deal is set for the next 10 years, if true

[quote=JoeRedskin;812533]I bet the coaches are going ape-shit right about now. They may have been gearing up but, given the compressed time frames, I am sure a they have been preparing but I bet more than a few of them are thinking "WTF do I do first?"

On top of that was just reading how teams could lose RFA's midway through August.

I'd bet the better coaches had a time line set up for when ever the deal got done. So they would have a plan for as little or as much time as they had to prepare the players.

re: Updated Title: Lockout Over-NFLPA Unanimously Votes to Approve Deal
 

Yeah I'm sure teams have a plan in place and will be ready to move.

Yeah I've heard the same things. I think your right though, the facility will open tomorrow for the players to vote, and actual practice starts Thurs. or Fri.

any word on when we can:

1) sign our own players and FAs
2) sign other team's FAs and begin trades?

re: Updated Title: Lockout Over-NFLPA Unanimously Votes to Approve Deal
 

I think we'll get official answers tonight.

re: Updated Title: Lockout Over-NFLPA Unanimously Votes to Approve Deal
 

So are most teams confident that rookies are not going to d1ck around with negotiating a lot and jump on board quickly?
Any speculation how soon Kerrigan/Jenkins and Hankerson will get signed?

re: Updated Title: Lockout Over-NFLPA Unanimously Votes to Approve Deal
 

I think UDFAs will probably be signed first and then rookies. Rookies should be signed rather quickly

And now they're saying all teams will start camp on Friday

And, I can't 100% confirm this yet, but the players have voted

UDFAs can be signed starting tomorrow right? or is it they can be negotiated with now, and signed tomorrow?
