The NFL lockout is over! Or so the owners would have you believe. 31 owners voted in favor of a new CBA -- 31, because one team, the Oakland Raiders, abstained.  Here's Roger Goodell's announcement Thursday, from the Wall Street Journal,

"The clubs approved an agreement that was negotiated with the players this afternoon. ... With this ratification, and with the ratification of the NFLPA Board, we will be prepared to open the training facilities beginning on Saturday--this Saturday. We will then be prepared to start the new league year.”

Just one problem: The owners’ proposal included some provisions players had not previously agreed to. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer explains....

"On Wednesday they gave several counter proposals, hoping to hear back what they're side was, whether they're going to be agreed upon or accepted or not. Well next thing they heard, the owners ratified their version of the CBA without telling players whether or not they accepted the counter proposals.”

Players, like Redskin's defensive end Vonnie Holliday, took to twitter.


"Look guys, I have no reason to lie! The truth of the matter is we got tricked, duped, led astray, hoodwinked, bamboozled."

At least one member of the NFLPA says--players need to take it easy.  Pro Sports Daily has the quote,

"Tell everybody to calm down,'' one high-ranking NFLPA official said late last night. "[We] haven't come this far to derail a deal.''

What did the owners fail to address in their proposal? Josh Cribbs tells NFL.com they included the duration of training camp, and how often players practice in full pads.

"How long camp will be, pads--you know, little things like that that we didn't hash out first. I would have loved to see issues hashed out first because we spent most of the summer on the revenue split and the bigger topics."

But there's more--The Boston Globe explains...

"The agreement the owners voted on also did not include some issues that are very important to the players, including discipline handed out by the league and drug testing."

 

ESPN's John Clayton explains--the public has generally been on the players side, if any, throughout the lockout--so the owners tried to turn a disadvantage, into an advantage.

"This was an obvious power play by owners, who want to pressure players into accepting their latest proposal and see how they respond to public pressure…Players finally received a copy late Thursday of what the owners had passed, but their initial response wasn't favorable."

Players are expected to delay the vote--but it’s not a guarantee. Regardless, Clayton says, players can begin to use team facilities tomorrow.
