I think more than likely in 2011 there will be a significantly reduced offseason. The league year ends shortly after the Super Bowl so the 2010 league year will end somewhere around Feb. 28, 2011. If there is no agreement in place then we won't see free agency, OTA's, minicamps, etc. maybe even a shortened training camp. The league and the NFLPA are far too smart to allow an NHL type debacle where games or even a season gets cancelled.

Marcellus Wiley said last week that a majority of the players disagree with the union taking a hard line in negotiating because the current deal strongly favors the highest 5-10% paid players and any changes will impact those players more than the rank and file who just want to keep playing and earning great money to play a game.
