The Drew Brees Update On The NFL Lockout
As one of the player leaders in this whole lockout fiasco, Drew Brees has certainly done a great job keeping everyone updated on the most recent developments. After negotiations wrapped up at 3am this morning, it appears things are almost ready to get cracking so we can have some football this year. Here is the email Brees sent to the players to explain where things are.
“As has been the case with this entire process, it looks like the details and schedule has changed for training camp and free agency,” Brees writes. “This is the latest although I cannot confirm anything at this point. I just want to make you aware as to what is being discussed so nothing catches you by surprise.
“Free Agency - It now looks like free agency will begin at noon on Tuesday and it will be open free agency. There will be no 3 day grace period for teams to sign their own players. It will be open for anyone to sign anywhere.
“Training Camp - It looks like the NFL is trying to force teams into camp on time. This would move us to a report date of Thursday, July 28. We would have physicals, conditioning, and meetings on this day. The day before would be a travel day and the hotel would be open that night for guys to check in as well as physicals but nothing mandatory until Thursday.
“I will keep you updated with the latest information. Unfortunately, it tends to change very quickly. Just stay prepared for anything.”
