nfl lockout

The New York Jets, known for their bravado and bold decision-making, are backing up offseason predictions. This time, they didn’t even need a field to do it.

After the NFL  owners approved a proposal for a new collective bargaining agreement with the players by a 31-0 vote Thursday, there was buzz that the end of the lockout was all but a formality. However, the player’s representatives pushed back on that assumption Friday, and decided not to even vote on whether to ratify the deal.

NFL players and owners have reportedly agreed on all major points in a new collective bargaining agreement, putting an end to the four-month-old lockout. A union executive committee vote and press conference are expected on Monday. Insiders anticipate the deal will be in place by Wednesday to ensure the start of training camps and an interrupted full schedule of preseason and regular-season games.
