Lockout winding down; "July 21 is the key date"

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Jul 11, 2011 11:01 AM CDT in News

A couple hours ago Clark Judge of CBSSports.com, posted a very optimistic piece on that site about the NFL Lockout nearing an actual end. He even goes as far as passing along info from some of his "anonymous" sources, including an NFL head coach. I'll highlight his piece after the jump.

Amid reports that an agreement could be reached as early as this week, a head coach on Monday morning said he's been told July 21 is the key date -- with owners expected to meet to ratify a new deal -- while a source with another club said he and members of the team's staff have been notified that training camp will open without a hitch.

That bold is mine. Without a hitch is good.

He goes on to say this is the time frame he was hearing a month ago, so his optimism is high. Are you ready...

One of the best bolding jobs

I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work!

I know you're curious Joseph, you're at that age, and you often forget to delete your internet history.

thanks...

If you go in the bathroom, turn off the lights, and say "Da Coach" 5 times while facing the mirror... Ditka will appear and slap the wussy right out of you.

Saw something like that on ESPN

The major issues remaining are all related with rookie contracts and more specifically contract lengths.

Also if we do get this deal done by that date then teams will have one full week to re-sign their veteran players as well as signing their draft picks to contracts. FA would start the following week.

Jay Cutler is our QB, and I for one am proud of that
