We're still a little light on details like just how some of the cap and cash calculating will work, but this is a pretty good summation of what the issues were and how they were resolved and what the remaining anscillary issues - some of which may ultimately simply go away on the road to settlement. The target date for getting it all wrapped up remains Tuesday so that the courts involved can be notified and/or sign off, so the players can vote to recertify and then ratify the new CBA and owners can vote to ratify it on Thursday. Leaving the weekend for players and agents and FO personnel to get brought up to speed on the new rules and over the course of next week the league year can begin with 3 days of teams allowed to talk to their own FA and UDFA's and rookies and UFA beginning and camps opening by the 28th...
A knucklehead or two could still temporarily derail the process or schedule, but it's not likely they can derail the deal as outside pressure will mount to get it done. Boylan is back on the beat today which may help mitigate some of the hardline last minute jockeying for an edge footdragging.
