NFL Labor Negotiations Continue As Pressure Mounts
With all games of the 2010 NFL season over, the league executives can now turn their focus to ensuring that there are games to be played in the 2011 season.
NFL and players union representatives are meeting in Washington to discuss a new collective bargaining agreement.
It's the second session in five days, the previous negotiations taking place in Dallas on Saturday.
Team owners opted out of the CBA in 2008 and the current contract expires March 3. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell heavily emphasized the need to get a deal done soon during his Super Bowl news conference last week.
NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith has said he expects the owners to lock out the players after the CBA expires.
Another negotiating session has been scheduled for later this week.
