According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, the resolution of the rookie wage scale issue has led to significant progress on other issues and that the two sides are headed towards a settlement.
"Both sides are intent on working through each issue line by line to get this deal done," a source told Paolantonio, who cautions that the work that needs to be done could "scuttle the deal".
Talks have continued well into Thursday night, will continue on Friday morning, and may extend into the weekend. The owners and players are due to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan in Minneapolis on Tuesday, July 19.
To save a full training camp and preseason, the owners hope to have a deal that can be ratified by the 32 owners at their league meeting in Atlanta next Thursday.
