July 25th NFL News: Cappers Picks Headlines – Daily Sports Gossip

NFL news: Lockout ends, business to resume this week

The NFL lockout is over. Fans, players, bettors, fantasy football nuts….join hands.

NFL news: Lockout ends

Let’s celebrate!

After working through the night, the NFL owners and players have reportedly agreed to a new, 10-year collective bargaining agreement. Players are expected to officially ratify the agreement through a vote later today.

The union’s executive committee will advise the league’s 1,900 players to approve the deal. At this stage it’s a mere formality.

Under the new deal, training camps will open with a staggered schedule. Ten teams will start Wednesday, 10 Thursday, 10 Friday and two on Sunday.

Teams can sign 2011 draft picks and undrafted free agents Tuesday. They can also start negotiating with veteran free agents, who can be signed as of Friday.

The salary cap for 2011 will be set at $120 million. The CBA also includes a new rookie payment scale aimed at regulating the cost of signing unproven players; unrestricted free agency after four years for most players; and revenues split to 53 per cent for the owners and 47 per cent for the players.

Players take a three-per-cent cut. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

June 30th NBA Hoops News: Cappers Picks Headlines – Daily Sports Gossip

NBA news: Sides far apart with CBA set to expire;

The NBA is on the verge of its first lockout since 1998-99 Reportedly, the players and owners remain far apart in their negotiations with the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire by the end of today. Free agency won’t commence if a deal isn’t struck.

NBA news: CBA Set To Expire

The NBA has already cancelled the summer league in Las Vegas for this season.

Nene to opt out

Given all the rumors including his name, it’s no surprise that Nene is opting out of his contract with the Denver Nuggets. The center had one year left on his six-year, $60-million deal. He averaged 14.5 points and 7.6 rebounds last season.

Blazers make qualifying offer to Greg Oden

It appears the Portland Trail Blazers will give Greg Oden one more chance. They will extend a one-year, $8.8-million qualifying offer to the former No. 1 overall pick and oft-injured center.

That will make Oden a restricted free agent, meaning Portland can match any offer Oden receives during free agency.
