More details will surely follow and the NFL Network is reporting that while the deal is reached, it's not finalized. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that the deal will be signed at some point early Thursday morning.

NFL and NFLRA looking at text, expect to sign tonight or early am. There will be a regular referee union crew in Baltimore Thursday night.

So rest easy friends -- specifically Bengals fans. Granted there were several mistakes during the course of Cincinnati's games (perhaps no more than the regular officials), we really dodged a bullet from having any games decided by a poor decision from the replacements.
