Specific language on the scale still needs to be sorted out, as with other things like pensions, health care

Still a lot of work to be done but it's not out of the realm of possibility that a handshake deal is done tomorrow.

Probably not until early next week more likely though

Is there any specifics on what the salary cap is going to be? or any specifics on the scale?

Still have to negotiate things such as workman's compensation, extra right-of-first-refusals on this year's free agent class, settlement on the television damages and the antitrust lawsuit and issues relating to commercial sponsorships.

Alrighty then....its time for free agent frenzy!

Longtimefan · 07-14-2011, 08:01 PM

No more $50 million guaranteed before playing a down.

I sure hope so. I'm watching the "top 10 uniforms" on NFLN right now. I'm desperate for some real football news.

Looks like they agreed to a salary cap as well:

NFL lockout -- Owners, players moving towards CBA settlement, source says - ESPN

$120M, with a "guaranteed spend" clause that requires teams to spend a minimum of 90% of the cap each year.
