NFL Owners and Player's Union agree on CBA.

http://www.theredzone.org/news/showarticle.asp?ArticleID=3770

GRAPEVINE, Texas - Labor peace was restored to the NFL when the owners agreed to the players' union proposal Wednesday, extending the collective bargaining agreement for six years.

There were no further details on the agreement, including whether it includes expanded revenue sharing.

The vote was 30-2, with Buffalo and Cincinnati, two low-revenue teams, voting against it.

Free agency, put off twice by the protracted negotiations between the owners and players, now will start at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

Yay! Let Free Agency begin!

I'm glad they were able to agree, losing the cap would have been horrible for the sport.
