Today, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, announced their agreement on a 10-year deal to end the lockout that began in March.
Here’s what both sides will receive:
Owners-will get a higher percentage of all revenue (53/47 split) and a new system that will rein in spending on contracts for first-round draft picks.
Player-convinced the owners to commit to spending nearly all of their salary cap space in cash and won changes to offseason and in-season practice rules. Players also got the right to five consecutive days off during their bye week.
Club facilities will open to players starting at 10 a.m. tomorrow, when 2011 draft picks and rookie free agents can be signed. Then, beginning Wednesday, the first group of teams can report for training camps, 15 days before each club’s first preseason game.
