NFL.com<\/a> is reporting that the 32 player representatives voted unanimously this afternoon to approve the deal agreed to early this morning.  <\/p>\n

The articlel reports:<\/p>\n

\n

“Meanwhile, the sides have agreed to a timeline that would allow some transactions and league business to begin Tuesday, sources with direct knowledge of the situation told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know much about what goes on behind the scenes in the National Football League, but I love to watch football.  This is the year I hope to see my team in the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1960’s! <\/p>\n

The article also reports that there are still some loose ends to be worked out:<\/p>\n

\n

“Now that the 32 team representatives approve a deal, the total NFLPA membership would need to vote, with a simple majority required for passage.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The 10 named plaintiffs in the players’ lawsuit against the league — including Tom Brady, Payton Manning and Drew Brees– must officially inform the court in Minneapolis of their approval of the pact, too.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Even after that, while training camps would be opened, a true collective bargaining can’t be agreed upon until the NFLPA re-establishes itself as a union. Players will need to vote to do so even as the sides put the finishing touches on a deal; only after the NFLPA is again a union can it negotiate such items as the league’s personal conduct policy and drug testing.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think this is good news.  Let the games begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
