Both sides seem to be getting out in the media and putting out messages....could be a sign of the final stages. I hope so. I also heard mention on Sports Center today a players rep warning that the players have met their limit on concessions. So, I dont know if these messages through the media are good news just yet. But, a ratification on the 21st would be tremendous!

I love putting the limits on the intial four years of the rookie contracts and all, but really, I can't see the logic in the owners sticking to their guns on limiting the potential salary of the 5th year option.

By the 5th year, you should have a pretty good idea if the player is worth whatever salary was negotiated for the 5th year. If he's worth it, pick up the option. If not, either let him hit the market, or negotiate a deal more in line with his talent level if you'd still like to keep him.

Having a limit on the option seems like something that would be especially unfair to running backs...They tend to lose value soon after the rookie deal.

Yea, Shefter added that to the original ratification article. It's a nice CYA move.
