The last time the NFL and the NFLPA came to the table to complete a Collective Bargaining Agreement, the only word that would be fair to use in describing it would be contentious. The owners locked the players out after the CBA expired following the 2010 season, and it took most of the offseason for the two sides to work out a new deal, just in time to hold a truncated training camp and a normal regular season.
Other things, however, were lost. The only offseason events that took place as scheduled were free agency and the draft.
