After speaking with several experts on the collective bargaining agreement, including NFLPA sources, NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora expects unsigned restricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Logan Mankins to sign their tenders and report by Week 10.
"If they sit out the entire season there is still a very, very strong chance they end up right back where they are -- restricted free agents," said one CBA expert. The players could try to force a settlement through grievance, but the union isn't confident they would win. Returning to the roster for the final six weeks would clear up the uncertainty and ensure that both players avoid the same mess next year.
