"It puts onus on players to make a decision to agree; paints us into a corner with fans. We'll discuss tonight but the idea of reconstituting as a union as never been a slam dunk as the owners have already assumed."
Another high-ranking NFLPA official: "We are not happy here. We had to honor to not vote on an agreement that was not final (Wednesday). This is not over. This actually takes away incentives from players to vote yes tonight."

For an hour there will be high-emotions, but they're going to realize that THIS IS IT, and if they don't agree the entire season could be in jeopardy (through an entire re-iteration process).

Watching De Smith giving the most recent speech (that I've seen), his language is not confident.

Jay_Glazer: I still believe we're upon a new deal folks! But I won't believe it until I hear it first-hand after players call

I'll take Jay Glazer's word over anybody else's (he was the one who broke the word on Harbaugh signing with us).
I think 50% of the players think it's a great deal, wanna play football; while the other 50% doesn't feel 100% sure of the deal... this is where the next two hours of conference calls will go.
