The NFL and NFLRA have reached an agreement to end the lockout.

Both sides are working quickly to have the regular officials back this weekend for Week 4.

The two sides have each made concessions on previous points of contention, including a pension plan.

The NFLRA is prepared to accept a new agreement primarily in the form of a "ratification bonus," which would compensate its 121-member union for concessions it is willing to make.
