There are all sorts of optimistic rumblings that an NFL deal, or at least the framework of one, could be reached in the next two to three weeks, thereby averting the disastrous possibility of games being cancelled.
The league and players will continue their talks before a mediator today and Wednesday just outside of Washington, D.C., and indications are that the sides have gotten past the rhetoric and are gaining traction on real progress. Meanwhile, the lockout remains in place while the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals considers to deliberate on the NFL?s June 2 appeal of a district court ruling ordering the lockout be lifted.
NFL owners are scheduled to convene in Chicago next Tuesday to be updated on the finer points of the negotiations. A person with familiarity to the talks said it?s important for ownership to ?have a detailed conversation? about the progress.
?Although the original plan called for a one-day meeting, the league has advised owners to pack for an overnight stay, a tidbit first reported by ESPN. That has tea-leaf readers reasoning it?s more fodder to believe a deal ? requiring a three-quarters-majority vote of ownership ? is on the horizon.
