One new name joining the fray today: Falcons OL Tyson Clabo. Interesting because he's one of the hundreds of pending free agents.

 

[mldardy]

/facedesk... I'm a huge Dez fan but this guy just doesn't have a freakin' clue.

He missed a memorabilia show not hold up a bank.

 

[maxsports]

No he did not hold up a bank. But fans pay alot of money for these autographs and many time purchase high priced items to get signed. Not cool to pull a no show

Bottom line: Everyone -- the QBs in that statement, the league, the NFLPA -- seems to be in deal-making mode. It's a critical time.

Not sure if it's necessary tho ... As I just reported on NFLN, one source characterized this as "deadline time" when you "do what it takes".

Harrison called out Pats 4 stealing 90% of his team's blitz signals in 2004 AFC Championship game. Then rips Goodell for slap on wrist.

)

Note, Brees said next cba, but none now. And if cba is signed for what 5 years or more, then what if another player like john mackey that passed away with serious illness and needed help from NFL, but didnt get that help. Seems like to me brees wants money now for himself and current players, forget the retired players. That stinks!

Our @willbrinson makes the point that the Brady/Manning/Brees statement isn't just "a statement" it's a bold move: http://******/qm2POw

Brady, Manning, Brees statement a bold move

Posted by Will Brinson

Up to this point, plaintiffs Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees have been relatively quiet about their activity in the Brady v. NFL antitrust lawsuit and the current labor dispute between the players and the owners.

However, they made their voice known on Wednesday morning in a statement released to the Associated Press that called their latest offer "fair" and said it's "time to get this deal done."

"We believe the overall proposal made by the players is fair for both sides and it is time to get this deal done," Brady, Manning and Brees said in the statement.

Cowboys QB Tony Romo says the lockout will be over soon & the Cowboys will be ready from the Get Go because of players offseason commitment.

Seems like it's very up in the air whether the players and owners will continue talks later tonight or not. We'll see. And we'll be here.
