NFL Owners, Players Plan To Meet Again "In The Near Future"

Discussion in 'NFL General Discussion' started by BigBlueBruiser, Jun 15, 2011.

  1. The NFL and players wrapped up another two-day round of talks on Maryland's Eastern Shore on Wednesday, with more talks expected in the near future. This is the third in a series of clandestine sessions that started with a three-day meeting two weeks ago in suburban Chicago, and continued with a two-day meeting on Long Island, N.Y. last week. According to sources, the talks remain productive and are moving forward, though a resolution to the three-month-old lockout is not on the immediate horizon. Both sides have evaluated and strongly considered the concessions and compromises that could ultimately lead to the problem being solved, though, and sources indicated an agreement could come within a month. The sides released a joint statement Wednesday reiterating their vow of silence to the media. “Discussions between NFL owners and players under the auspices of Chief Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan took place again this week and will continue. At the request of Judge Boylan, both sides have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of the substance of the talks.â€￾

    That's not a good sign. I hope they can come to some resolution or a compromise plan.

    Maybe they are preparing for the next sessions. It does take 5 hours of prep time to 1 hour of negotiating...lol.
