NFL reaches agreement with officials to end lockout - ESPN

NFL, officials agree to deal

The NFL and the NFL Referees Association reached an agreement late Wednesday night to end the referee lockout, the league confirmed.

The two sides are looking at text and expect to sign the deal by Thursday morning, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. There will be a regular referee union crew in Baltimore for Thursday night's Ravens-Browns game, according to a league source.

NFL Network, citing a league source, reported the two sides agreed to a new developmental program, rather than adding 21 officials to the current pool of 121 NFLRA officials.

The pool of money for the current officials, according to the report, will remain the same.

hopefully the refs wont be rusty

Actually during the lock-out the refs went through regular joint "workouts" as far as decisions on plays that occurred, changes that would impact their officiating, etc. I will bet they are ready to go today. And if there is minor rust, it won't even show because the replacement refs were so horrible that the minor rust won't even be noticed. After the Seattle/Green Bay debacle, the NFL was pressured into getting the regular refs back ASAP.
