NFLPA signs electronic-signature deal in hopes of avoiding another Dumervilian disaster
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dear incoming NFL rookie: Worried your $8 million contract might get held up by a balky fax machine?
Worry no more.
The NFL Players Association announced a deal Tuesday with an electronic-signature company that will give players access to technology that makes signing a contract as easy as hitting a few buttons on a cellphone.
