After several hours, both left for another part of the city to meet with commissioner Roger Goodell.

Upon arriving Tuesday, Eller said, "We were left out, but it's good to be back here."

Later, Eller said he expects Official Mike Wallace Jersey an agreement this week, and said the retired players would not stand in the way of an agreement. He added that it was possible work will still have to be done regarding retired player benefits after the settlement.

It was still believed things were on track for the NFLPA executive committee and player reps to recommend a settlement to the plaintiffs in the players' lawsuit.

However, one player Authentic Kevin Greene Jersey rep told si.com, "Isn't it great that we're so close to a deal, and the people who'll vote on it haven't even seen the terms yet?"

Some player reps have steelers James Harrison Jersey said they expect a "spirited debate" Wednesday.

As NFLPA spokesperson George Atallah said Monday, "Nobody cheers for you at Mile 25 of a marathon. You still have to cross the finish line. There still are things that can Official Lawrence Timmons Jersey get you tripped up, and we're going to push through."

Assuming the steelers Mike Wallace Jersey settlement is recommended, the question is what happens next, with the hope owners will be able to vote to ratify the settlement at their meeting in Atlanta Thursday.

Tuesday began with the report that plaintiffs Logan Mankins of the Patriots and Vincent Jackson of the Chargers were asking to be Official Kevin Greene Jersey declared free agents or receive $10 million in compensation. Both players were franchised in February, prior to the lockout.

Later in the day, it was reported Authentic Lawrence Timmons Jersey that Authentic Mike Wallace Jersey quarterbacks Peyton Manning of the Colts and Drew Brees of the Saints were also seeking a provision in the settlement where they wouldn't be franchised. Manning was franchised in February, while Brees could become a free agent after the 2011 steelers Lawrence Timmons Jersey season.

After the lawsuit was filed on March 11, Brees was asked about putting his name Authentic Mike Webster Jersey on the class-action. He said, "We have a responsibility to our players -- past, present and future, to advance this league forward, not take three steps back. It's important to me. I'm representing the 1900 Official Lynn Swann Jersey players now, the guys before us and those that will come after us. I feel strongly about our case. That's why I put my name on it."

Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe created a Official Joe Greene Jersey stir when he said steelers Mike Webster Jersey on Twitter, "Sigh, and once again greed is the operative byword. Congrats Brees, Manning, Mankins, and Jackson for being 'that guy' #douchebags.

Reached later by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Kluwe was asked if he was truly upset or having steelers Rashard Mendenhall Jersey fun. Authentic Maurkice Pouncey Jersey He answered, "It's like a mix of both. The thing is we're so close to having a deal done and Authentic Jerome Bettis Jersey to kind of pull that at the steelers Joe Greene Jersey last minute, it steelers Kevin Greene Jersey feels kind of like blackmail. We all out the owners when Official Rashard Mendenhall Jersey they do crap like that and it's only fair to call out our own people when they do the same thing. I'm against hypocrisy wherever it's at. Just finish the deal up so we can get the season going."

Referring to how Mankins and Jackson were restricted free agents last year because of the uncapped season, Kluwe said, "I get that they got screwed over with how the uncapped year worked out, but at some point 80 or 90 percent in this league would love to play for a restricted free-agent offer," Kluwe said. "That's getting paid a pretty good steelers LaMarr Woodley Jersey sum of Official Jerome Bettis Jersey money for one year. I know I'd gladly pay for a restricted free-agent tender."

Despite the events Tuesday, there was an ironic tweet from Nolan Harrison, the NFLPA's senior director of former player services. He said, "NFLPA showing what One Team is truly about. Still much to do, but proud of the team working hard right now to make this happen."

It was left to Carolina Panthers to put some humor in the situation when he tweeted, "Who is Chris Kluwe. In exchange for NOT having my signature on the settlement of the case, I would like: a 1978 AMC pacer, 10 Snuggies w/ #67 embroidered on them and a meet & greet with Jon Cryer of Two Authentic Joe Greene Jersey and a Half Men."

That's good, as long as Official Mike Webster Jersey both sides avoid Charlie Sheen.
