NFL Lockout News Encouraging As June 21 Meetings Continue

Tuesday’s owners meetings have produced quite a bit of NFL lockout news already -- including looks at the potential new revenue split and free agency -- but most football fans are going to be happy to start seeing more things like this: Yahoo! Sports’ Jason Cole says, “more people inside the room seem encouraged. Deal isn’t done, but it may be a matter of paperwork at this point.”

The general tone of lockout negotiations has taken a positive turn over the past couple weeks or so, with multiple outlets starting to express good vibes and happy thoughts. A “paperwork” matter can still take a long time, and there’s no guarantee it’s actually that far along, but it’s hard to shake the feeling we’ve come a long way in a short time as the season approaches.
