Deal gets done but after March 4th CBA expiration. So a lock out will occur.
I predict a deal is done the week before the NFL draft (Draft starts on Thurs 28 April and runs thru Sat 30 April).
So look for a settlement/compromise/deal whatever you want to call it the week of 18-22 April (more than likely on Friday 22 April or even Sat-Sunday thereafter). The NFL will really want it done before the Draft week hoopla.
Outcomes:
-16 game season in 2011, 18 Game season in 2012 and beyond (2 less preseason games)
-Better health care and a baseline pension for retired players
-Cap on first round draft picks compensation-it really is crazy that the 10th pick of the 1st round of the NFL draft can make more before stepping on the field than a vet at the same position.
-Expanded rosters
-Some disciplinary punishment adjustments-either Goodell has to have a more transparent policy on how it is dissed out or some secondary appeal process will be created.
-Some kind of revenue protection scheme to give the owners their share first to compensate for known upfront costs that they are bearing.
