According to Peter King of SI.com, he was told chances are very good that the deal will include an opt-out for both sides, not just the players. The iteration that was getting traction Sunday night would require each side to hit specific deal-breakers to be able to opt out, and the opt-out for either side would be done in year five of the deal. If either side chose to opt out in year five (2015), the final playing season of the deal would be 2016, with the final event of the CBA being the April 2017 draft. But King stresses that this was the latest version of the opt-out being discussed as the clock neared midnight, and it won't necessarily be the one that is announced today when the deal gets done.

And in the next sentence of King's column, he quoted a player rep saying that the opt-out is merely an insurance policy and would require some major factors being met in order for either side to exercise. More than likely, the NFL will have 10 years of uninterrupted labor peace.

we can only hope, but this sounds alot like Revis saying, "I might hold out again in a few years if I have to".
