CRedskinsRule 03-03-2011, 05:36 PM So is there going to be free agency regardless of what happens today/tonight? Peter King tweeted earlier that nothing happens with FA until a new CBA is signed. So unless a deal is reached (which obviously isn't happening today) FA is still off. CRedskinsRule 03-03-2011, 05:39 PM Andrew Brandt just tweeted, and I think he is right, that for the next 10 minutes the NFLPA has more leverage than they have ever had. Let's see if they use it wisely. Lotus 03-03-2011, 06:02 PM Peter King tweeted earlier that nothing happens with FA until a new CBA is signed. So unless a deal is reached (which obviously isn't happening today) FA is still off. I believe that there is one exception to this: if the union decertifies, then the owners may unilaterally impose their own terms of employment, terms which could include free agency. Of course, even in this case, there may be no free agency because the owners may not allow it in their ad hoc rules or the owners may respond to decertification with a lockout. And even if the owners allow free agency, the players may refuse to sign out of solidarity with the inevitable lawsuits from players. So free agency in this scenario is unlikely but it could happen.

I will not be accepting bets on the CBA talks. Current spread is deemed no CBA by 1 month. CRedskinsRule 03-03-2011, 06:38 PM I think this extension is a good sign. If nothing else, it's a first definitive step that both sides took in unison. If tomorrow gave us a week extension, I would be more hopeful than I have been in a while. That lets them sit down, and seriously move forward. Lotus 03-03-2011, 06:49 PM I think this extension is a good sign. If nothing else, it's a first definitive step that both sides took in unison.

SolidSnake84 03-03-2011, 10:04 PM From the way i've read it, they just cant keep setting temporary extensions. Most that i've read says that if they do not reach a new CBA tomorrow, then they will lockout. They just can't keep making an extension.... MTK 03-03-2011, 10:09 PM DeMaurice Smith says, “We’re gonna keep working” \| ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/03/03/demaurice-smith-says-were-gonna-keep-working/) This 24 hour extension is just buying time so they can negotiate a longer extension. No way a deal gets done by tomorrow night. I don't see a lockout happening.
