NFL officials gather for contract ratification vote

IRVING, Texas – NFL officials on the verge of approving a new contract say they are excited to get back to work.

Officials arrived Friday at a Dallas-area hotel to discuss and vote on an eight-year agreement reached with the league late Wednesday. They were meeting Friday night with a vote on the contact expected this morning. Some planned to fly directly after the vote to their assigned cities for Sunday’s game.

The deal must be ratified by 51 percent of the union’s 121 members.
