The NFLPA was just minutes away from decertifying on Thursday, just before an extension was reached in labor talks with the NFL, according to sources. Two staff members made the two-block walk from the union office to the FMCS building to hand-deliver copies of all the necessary decertification paperwork as the deadline to file neared. The NFLPA was within minutes of pulling the trigger, according to sources, and pulled back just before the clock hit zero.
