NFL: Owners pass resolution

[RING4CY]

Owners pass a resolution to ratify a new 10-year CBA with a 31-0 vote. Oakland Raiders abstained.

Pressure is on the players now. If they don't vote to pass this CBA, they'll look like fools after their whole "We just want to play, owners won't let us" mentality during this lockout.

This is out in the last 10-15 minutes, so there are no links yet. But here are some tweets.

Resolution to vote is in hand, CEC/NFL execs will explain it to the group now, discuss and then vote will be taken.

Al Davis was too busy riding his pale horse and harvesting souls, I guess.

You could hear loud applause from the room after the vote. It's the players' turn in a little while.

Urlacher came out against the game, today, and I'm guessing nearly all the players feel the same as him. It's a loss of revenue for the league, but it's probably the right move

Looks like first day of new league year will be July 27, next Wednesday. That is when veteran free agency will open.

I'm now hearing the players will NOT vote bc they haven't even seen what owners have done w changes players made to the owners' proposal.

On our air, @Jay_Glazer just said there's gonna be NO player vote. I'm hearing this call is not going well right now.
