ESPN is saying lockout should end by July 21st

They claim that the sticking point now is the rookie scale, specifically the number of years involved in the contracts. That shouldn't be too big a hurdle, so they are expecting to be done in time to avoid missing any preseason games, except possibly the HoF game. The teams in that game start TC a week early, but in order to get FA in, they might have to change that.

ESPN later "softened" that stance per PFT. I do think a preseason game or two is going to be missed. At least. There is going to be some bad football played this year, especially early on.

I dunno. Too much money to be lost for them to miss preseason games.

I think fans just want to wash the taste of last season out of their mouths. We also want the opportunity to put the former coaching staff/regime to rest. I don't think fans have felt that sense of "we don't know what's about to happen, but we think it might be good" in a very long time. I look forward to that feeling again sometime soon.

I really don't care if they missed ALL the pre-season games. As a season ticket holder paying full price for those tickets is the biggest ripoff since someone sold oceanfront property in Arizona. If the Titans were going to be contenders I might feel differently about missing games, but they aren't and I don't.

I think that is why they will play all the preseason games. They get full price and would have to refund the same for each preseason game missed.

I like watching the preseason games, but I can understand why season ticket holders wouldn't like the prices. I'll miss them though, as those August games provide the sign that football is back! Plus, I like watching the rookies play.

Were I living close enough to attend games on a weekly basis(season ticket), I would be very unhappy at being forced to buy tickets to uncompetitive,unentertaining pre season games at the same price as regular season games. It's just not right in my book.

That just made it easier for me to let my tickets go. Preseason games are literally 20% of the season ticket package (not counting the possibility of playoff tickets later)...

They got you hooked as a PSL owner and they know it so they gouge you deep. Between my 4 seats I pay $240 per game preseason and I could walk up and buy one ticket for $5 to any preseason game. As pro said, it's money grubbing at it's worst. As a fan, I love to see the rookies in action but it's not worth the full ticket price.
