NFL | Emergency owners meeting called for early Thursday
Tue, 28 Feb 2006 17:52:51 -0800

Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports an emergency owners meeting has been called for Thursday, March 2, at 8:30 a.m. in New York. If there are any signs of progress in the CBA talks, there is a chance the start of the free agent period will be delayed. If the talks break down again, several high-profile veteran profiles could get cut Friday, March 3, as teams comply with the salary cap.

Glazier's a little behind. The NFL put out a statement this evening saying that talks have broken off. The new league year will begin as scheduled on Friday. The owners meeting for next week has been cancelled. The meeting tomorrow is with Tags and executive owners board to deal with the reality of no CBA extension.

Or....it could be all posturing.

Not that new. It was reported on NFL Network at 7:00 pm, along with the statement from the league that the league year and free agency would begin on Friday as scheduled.
