The NFL has sent a memo to all 32 owners asking them to be available to stay in Chicago on Wednesday, June 22 in case league meetings from the prior day run late; the news was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The owners are set to meet next Tuesday in Chicago, but the commissioner's office is warning them that talks could stretch into that evening or the next day, according to the ESPN report.
PFW's Eric Edholm wrote last week that the June 21 meetings would be an important date, and that the owners may be preparing a deal that they will vote on when they are together.
The way we see it
While it's too early to jump to any serious conclusions, this is a strong indication that the league is serious in working out a deal with the players on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement very soon. By asking the owners to be prepared to meet for longer than planned, it is a possibility they will be serious discussions and perhaps even a vote on the terms of a new CBA next week, which would be major progress in the negotiations.
