Both owners and players are reporting that they are nearing an agreement on a new CBA, expected to cover the next 7-10 seasons (estimated number). Once they do, supposedly early this week, there will be a few more steps that need to be competed, which I won't go into too much detail describing. But once everything has been signed the lockout should be lifted and we'll head into free agency. In fact, The Onion posted a short article about the lockout ending that I found funny. You can read it at NFL Players, Owners Warn Lockout May Be Over In Time For Exhibition Games.
Once the lockout is lifted and the NFL year officially begins I'll get back to posting regularly. I know I've been saying that all offseason, but I just haven't found the time to keep up with everything, considering it takes a lot of time to do so.
I'm really looking forward to this season, and hopefully all of you are, too. There will be several unknowns this season, not the least of which will be how players perform after not all having or participating in organized team activities all offseason. The ones who found ways to get their work in will do well and the others may disappoint the fans. It will be interesting to see who ends up in which category. I'll go a little more into detail on what to watch for, in addition to division/team previews, playoff predictions, and other topics once the lockout ends.
