So we've all been hearing about this whole CBA problem that the NFL has and how much it could negatively affect next season. I don't know too much about it. What is the issue and what would happen if it isn't resolved? For example, what type of things would the Niners, and other teams around the league, not be able to do?

They really hated the old CBA structure, they really love the current CBA resolution drawn up at this time (for voting), and could vote/pass it on their end almost immediately.

-I remember somebody on NFLN saying that the owners were so giddy, that they had wanted to vote/pass it today (almost immediately after the players would have passed it, if they had.)

According to ESPN, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has already received pre-approval on the new CBA from at least 24 of the 32 that is required for the CBA to pass. A formal vote from the owners is expected at some point tomorrow.

alright the players are pissing me off. While I dont agree with a 120m cap, they are getting a great deal, they are getting all types of benefits.

While the previous offer IMO was bad, with a 109M cap, this one is by far better in every aspect.

The $120M salary cap being offered now is the same number that was offered back in March before the lockout began!

from what I recall, the number included benefits, and brought the number down to 109M, which Clayton reported that the numbers didnt match as most teams would of been over the cap. At least thats what I recall.
