ESPN and NFL Network reporting the NFLPA will recommend players vote for the CBA on Monday. The league year is now expected to start on Wednesday. Teams will open facilities for the players to vote on re-certifying the union. If a majority of players vote for that, training camps around the league could open as soon as Friday. Free agency would open next Saturday. (Teams can open negotiations with their own players on Wednesday, if the CBA is ratified. It appears, though, that no one can be signed until Saturday. It also appears that teams can not talk to free agents of other teams until Saturday, although that isn't completely clear right now.)
Opening camps on Friday will give most teams two weeks of practice before the first full week of preseason, so that should be on schedule.
