ReutersDespite rampant media reports regarding potential flies in the proverbial ointment, progress continues toward a new labor deal.
Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal has reported via Twitter that progress is being made today on the remaining issues. Albert Breer of NFL Network reports that the lawyers plan to work into the evening on ironing out the new deal, with the goal of presenting a completed draft to the members of the NFLPA* Executive Committee and the board of player representatives in Washington on Wednesday.
Citing multiple unnamed sources, Breer reports that the goal is a realistic one.
And so this really could be done by the end of the week, despite the apparent ongoing game of who’s got the biggest, um, champagne bottle.

I saw this on Twitter…., this ‘report’ is so 5 minutes ago…,
uhm.. the CBA actually needs to be finished first… And those greedy players (mankins, jackson) better not cba-block me.
Thanks for the champagne news, please hold the bucket of ice water it usually comes in.
Next week will be interesting.
Wouldn’t this be the “deal in principal” you’ve been dying to report?
Let the games begin.
Packers report to work Saturday.
Pop the cork……..let the games begin
Great news. Now I just need to know how fast I can expect the Falcons to sign Nnamdi….
I’m so sick of looking at these posts. But I have to look I’m so addicted. What is wrong wth me ?
Pop!
Great, free agents, shrot camp, preseason while I am on vacation, labor day and then FOOTBALL!
Sorry touchdownroddywhite, the Falcons don’t have near enough cap space to think about chasing Namdi. They don’t even have the room to sign their own free agents, much less someone that’s going to command $15 million minimum.
Crush Manning, Brady and Brees…………………
This is like a drug addiction for me. I absolutely have to check this site several times a day.
how many bottles of champagne have been spoiled due to their premature icing, only to have the bucket of ice thrown on everyone, letting the champagne become warm and bitter.
Hey touchdownroddywhite, u will see namdi as he will be covering your recievers along with Taleb. The bucs are 59 MILLION UNDER THE CAP and will have to spend 50 million of that. Monday-Friday is gunna be fun. Especially in Tampa!!!
I’d work into the evening ironing things out too if I was getting paid $200+/hour!
Good! Great! Grand! Wonderful!
Boyoyoyoyooing!
Just tell them that they need to approve it so they can see what’s in it.
