NFL owners and players have tentatively agreed to a plan that would allow for the players' executive committee to vote on Monday to recommend accepting the CBA and recertifying as a union, a source said Saturday.

Under the plan, players would begin reporting to training camps as early as Wednesday to physically vote on whether to recertify, with the hope that it will be done by Friday at the earliest, the source said.

According to the source, progress in other talks with the owners has put the 11-member NFLPA executive board in position to vote Monday to recommend the 10-year collective bargaining agreement the owners ratified Thursday.

maybe because of the following:???


WASHINGTON -- There appears to be light at the end of the tunnel again.

After a roller-coaster week, NFL owners and players made big progress toward a labor settlement Saturday, according to sources on both sides. Among the areas covered were the opt-out language, workers' compensation, injury protection clauses and the process to finish a collective bargaining agreement with post-recertification issues (benefits, drugs, discipline) if the NFL Players Association reformed as a union.

The timeline for the NFLPA to recertify also still needs to be worked out, but it was discussed. So, things seem to be back on track, and some of the bad feelings engendered after the owners ratified a proposed CBA on Thursday have subsided.
