MNF would be back in business with a Michaels and Manning booth.

Agreed, 2100 players vote, around 600-700 make over 1million base salary. The rest will look at the plusses in the CBA.

Cowboys reportedly resume talks with Dak Prescott, offer $105M guaranteed

Just wow

And he said no???

So the CBA vote is a hot mess.

Okung is suing the NFLPA through the NLRB for even bringing the vote to the players after the executive committee voted not to recommend it. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28872617/russell-okung-files-complaint-nflpa-nlrb

The NFLPA said players cannot change their vote after "enough had expressed interest in changing them" for the player reps to bring up a call for it.

and the NFLPA pushed the vote deadline back to Saturday in order to give players more time to look over the package.

That last one puts Dallas in a real bind with Amari Cooper's situation, if they want to double tag Prescott and him, they could have it pulled out from under them a few days before FA opens.

Seems like they should vote on the new CBA .... an off season before the old one expires. I honestly thought this offseason would be under the old/existing rules for like a phase in period regardless of whether of the new CBA is agreed to.

To have the voting be done right before you intend to implement the new CBA right before the start of FA and during the tag decision period ... seems like its courting disaster.
