Looks like they're finally coming to some type of agreement. I haven't been looking at all the specifics until today really as I was sure this was going down to the wire. There's been such little mention of it from the league and so much grandstanding with the historic 20th season that they know they can't afford to have a false start.
Either way, the signs are encouraging and free agency looks to come in some form, glad they're getting the years down on that, it only makes sense and I like the way they are slowly introducing free agency into the league, seems like a win-win. The owners know it won't last forever though and any concessions made can never be given back. All very interesting stuff, especially compared to other leagues around the country and world for that matter.
