Owners have submitted a new compensation plan to players, according to ESPN reporter Karl Ravech and other sources, proposing to guarantee 50 percent of their pro-rated salaries for a 76-game season, with the opportunity to earn 75 percent of their pro-rated salary if the post-season is not cancelled. The season would begin on July 11 and end on September 27, with a post-season ending in late October. Owners would also eliminate draft pick compensation for free agents this off-season and would forgive $34 million of the $176 million advance they gave players back in March.
