Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Yes, signs are strong that football’s four-month lockout might almost be over. The NFL wants team executives ready to be schooled in the ins and outs of a new labor contract as early as Thursday, when owners are expected to vote to ratify a potential agreement. Players are gathering in Washington so they’re ready to vote on an agreement in principle even sooner than that. Heck, there are even reports that the Packers have contacted players (without league permission) advising them to be ready to report for initial meetings with coaches this weekend. ... So stay tuned. We will continue to follow up with significant developments until the deal is done.
