Posted in Don Banks of SI.com talked to Colts owner Jim Irsay at the NFL meeting. Irsay told Banks, “It’s the season to make a deal. This is the time, in the next couple weeks. Now’s the time to keep pressing on, to chug along. These things stop and start, but you stay the course. It’s always fragile and difficult. But 90 percent or more on both sides want to get a deal, so both sides keep working.”
When asked about the push to save the entire preseason, Irsay said, “I think that’s the hope. That’s the logic on both sides. It just makes sense to have a sense of urgency and get a deal done.” Irsay was optimistic and repeated that now is the time to get a new CBA done.”
