At 8 a.m. CST, the NFL and NFLPA will meet for the final time before the collective bargaining agreement's 10:59 p.m. CST expiration.
Representatives of the 32 NFL ownership groups met in Virginia to discuss options in case a new CBA is not in place. One of the options mentioned, and it is a long shot that it will happen, is extending the deadline.
The owners did not take a vote during the meeting about whether or not to lock out the players if the NFL and NFLPA cannot agree on a new CBA.
So it all comes down to this...
Will the NFLPA decertify and file an antitrust suit? Will the players and owners make enough progress in negotiations to extend the deadline?
Will a new CBA be in place? Or will a lockout cancel the 2011?
Join the Sports Thread tomorrow for another episode of When the Pigskin Turns.
