ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the National Football League and NFL Players Association have agreed on a rookie compensation system.
"Still i's to dot, t's to cross on rookie system, but it's not impediment to deal," Schefter tweeted on Thursday.
The rookie wage system was believed to be the main issue entering this week's negotiating sessions in New York City. Other issues will need to be resolved before a new collective bargaining agreement is agreed upon, and it's important to keep in mind that a resolution in one area won't necessarily lead to a series of dominoes falling.
But a major hurdle in the talks being cleared is a positive sign that we're getting closer to the end of the lockout and beginning of the 2011 league year.
