As PFT's Mike Florio suggested, the vote comes as no surprise, given the largely negative reaction to the NFL’s apparent power play to approve an incomplete deal and force the players to agree. ESPN’s Adam Schefter got hold of an email sent to player reps Thursday night that makes it clear the players have issues with how the NFL ratified their settlement. The email details how players received the NFL’s procedure for finalizing a settlement. The email says the NFL is requiring the players to re-form as a union and ratify the new CBA by Tuesday, July 26. NFL outside counsel Jeff Pash indicated that he expects the players to ratify the deal because DeMaurice Smith negotiated it. Roger Goodell said he believed Smith will “take care of business. ...” It's now obvious that wasn't necessarily the case. ... So stay tuned. The drama will continue.
