^I'm assuming "filing transactions" means trades and signing unrestricted FAs from other teams?

Technically moves can start happening tomorrow, but not official until Friday. So in theory we could all find out that Kolb has been traded to the Cardinals tomorrow but it wouldn't be official until Friday.

Same would go for news on McNabb and Stainsworth eh?

Any restrictions before recertification.....or are all bets on?

So are most teams confident that rookies are not going to d1ck around with negotiating a lot and jump on board quickly?
Any speculation how soon Kerrigan/Jenkins and Hankerson will get signed?

[SmootSmack]

I think UDFAs will probably be signed first and then rookies. Rookies should be signed rather quickly

And now they're saying all teams will start camp on Friday

And, I can't 100% confirm this yet, but the players have voted

UDFAs can be signed starting tomorrow right? or is it they can be negotiated with now, and signed tomorrow?

It's all over SportsCenter right now. The signature of the settlement is going to take place soon. De Smith just made the announcement...

Man I'm so jacked. Finally FOOOOOOOTBALL!!!

I thought the rookie pay scale took care of this?

All the rookie pay scale is is a cap set on how much you can pay your rookies. It doesn't create set salaries so you still have to negotiate with them. It's not like the NBA's system. But we def. won't see guys like Cam Newton get 5 year, 78 mil contracts with 50 mil guaranteed anymore.

Sign Moss, ASAP.

Nice job to all the players involved that got this deal done. Such a relief to be able to get back to football, and with 10 years of labor peace ahead life is good.

Agreed...A lot of heroes (if you will) helped get this deal through, headed by Robert Kraft....how instrumental he has been to labor peace over the years.

I second that.

Now, when does the warpath paid fantasy football league start? I assume those that took part last year have first choice on whether or not to play this year?
