Being on a negotiation team for my union, I do find it funny how there is never any money during contract years.

Player reps emailed a letter to players saying, "We will meet again Monday to discuss our options and the direction we want to go."

This is ridiculous. I was tentatively planning on trying to buy season tickets this year, but I will just try to scalp them at this point. Screw giving these people my hard earned money.

You're a union flunkey. No surprise.
The players union is led by a bunch of morons. I'd be surprised if these guys know how to wipe their own asses. Billions of dollars at stake and they're posturing because their leadership hasn't a clue what to do.

This is beyond "so true." Smith is a complete buffoon. How his sorry ass lucked into a gig like this is beyond me.

They completed a 10-year agreement and the only thing lost was a single exhibition game. Why would someone possibly be upset?

Titled “Article 11, Transition Rules for the 2011 League Year,” here’s what the document provides.
Sounds like 6pm Friday is when the FA signings can begin...
Today, the NFL will publish a Free Agency List.
On Tuesday, team facilities will open for voluntary training, conditioning, and classroom instruction.
On Tuesday, trades can begin.
At 10:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, teams may sign drafted rookies, undrafted rookies, and negotiate with (but not sign) their own unrestricted free agents, restricted free agents, exclusive-rights players, and franchise players.
Also, beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET on Tuesday, teams may negotiate with, but not sign or give offer sheets to, other team’s unrestricted free agents, restricted free agents, and franchise players.
At 4:01 p.m. ET on Thursday, teams may waive or terminate player contracts.
At 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday, teams may renegotiate existing player contracts, sign their own unrestricted free agents, sign their own restricted free agents, and sign their franchise players.
Also at 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday, teams may sign unrestricted free agents from other teams, restricted free agents from other teams, and franchise players from other teams.
No payment of any kind can be made to any player until the CBA has been ratified by the players.
The 2011 league year will begin no later than August 4. When the 2011 league year begins, teams must be under the salary cap. (Specifically, their highest 51 cap numbers must fit under the cap.)

Said this on a diff board.
I wasnt concerned in the least that a deal would get done. Matter of fact, I like how this all worked out. Instead of following daily from the end of the season until now...all the drama of FA coming and going, pre madonna rookie contract negotiations, the rumors of this and that in FA, going on for month sand months.......we get it all condensed into a few weeks.
So, in reality, this lockout has been a good thing!
