Over the several days there have been reports that the NFL owners and players are getting very close to a labor agreement that would end the NFL lockout. We’ve heard these sorts of reports before (maybe not to this extent) so I’ve been somewhat pessimistic in believing that the lockout is actually ending soon.
NFL Lockout: Another Sign Deal Is Close
That said, we have yet another sign that the lockout will actually be over soon. The Minnesota Vikings previously gave their training camp partner in Mankato a July 18 deadline for camp. That would be the date in which they would have to inform Minnesota State University if they were coming.
The two sides released a joint statement on Monday that said the Vikings decision on camp would be delayed. I would guess that’s because the lockout is so close to ending that they want to hold out hope that camp still be conducted in Mankato.
It’s another good sign that this lockout will be ending soon.
