NFL extends Friday's 4pm deadline to 10pm

espn posted at 10:33 that the nfl had declined the nflpa's proposal. Unless the nflpa is miraculously pressured by its membership & makes an 11th hr. change, the cutting will pick up serious speed.
The only chance I see for a last minute deal is if somehow agents & all these soon to be free agents pressure the nflpa because they need a big contract this year. That seems unlikely though, since there are probably more players that will benefit by not having a new cba & getting an uncapped year in 07 & perhaps thereafter.
For some reason, I have some weird optimism about this, maybe I'm just stuck in the glory days of our 2 super bowls in strike seasons, but I have a feeling we'll pull off some crazy restructuring w/the Danny giving a couple 007 winks to some players to get them to stay.
