The Facts:
With a 24-hour extension aimed at laying the foundation for another extension, mediator George Cohen has accomplished half the battle. Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports that Cohen has persuaded the union to agree to a 7-to-10-day extension.
Now, the league needs to consent to a pushing of the deadline back by a week or more.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, the disclosure means that someone has violated the vow of silence and in turn has placed public pressure on ownership to agree to the extension. At this point, Florio believes it will be difficult if not impossible for the league to not agree to extend the deadline and implement a lockout as of 12:00 a.m. Saturday. That said, Mortensen reports that “major differences” between the two sides remain.
