It sounds like they are making a lot of progress. Even better, separate sources tell Christensen that the deal's basic framework -- years and guaranteed money -- is already agreed upon, leaving only negotiations on deferred payments and other matters. For what it's worth, Christensen is confident that a deal is coming, writing that "it's a matter of when, not if." Fantastic news for Minnesota.
