By a unanimous vote, all 32 owners opted out of the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement on Tuesday morning.
The original agreement, good through 2012, included an option to shorten the CBA. There is still plenty of time to negotiate, and football will be played with a salary cap in 2008-2009. In 2010, it could get tricky. An uncapped year limiting players' free agents rights is possible. A work stoppage in 2011 could also be on the horizon, though the owners promise that won't happen.
