NFL Owners Will Meet The Day The CBA Expires
March 3 will be the day that the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFL players union expires, and the NFL owners are expected to hold a meeting that very same day.
It is possible the owners will call for a lockout of the players if negotiations with the union are not progressing sufficiently.
All 32 owners are expected to be at the meeting in Fort Lauderdale that follows two days of committee meetings that were previously scheduled.
NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith repeatedly has said he expects a lockout. Talks broke down last week in Washington.
The owners opted out of the CBA in 2008.
