The Facts:
Following up on the previous item. ... The league and the NFLPA have struck a deal on extending the moment at which the current CBA expires. The extension, which widely was [expected] to last at least a week, will push midnight back by a mere 24 hours. Our guess is that, in the next 24 hours, the two sides primarily will be negotiating the duration of the real extension.

This according to PFT's Mike Florio, who went on to suggest there’s too much work and too many issues to get a deal done by midnight on Friday. Florio added: "They were running out of time, Judge Doty needed to sign the paperwork, and so they went with a one-day Band-Aid as they try to work out a longer window. ... Again, that’s just a guess. But the only other possibility is that they think they can get a deal done in the next 30 hours. ..." We'll remind you that guesswork is pretty much all we've got at this point. That said, the fact they're still working indicates neither side is as eager to exercise their "nuclear" options (decertification for the union; lockout for the league). ... Stay tuned.
