NFLPA* tells players that a deal isn’t close

Also goes against this report:

NFL owners and players wrapped up two days of face-to-face talks Thursday afternoon in the Boston area.

Face-to-face negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement are expected to resume next week, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. However, the sides have continued to work on issues outside their formal meetings, and that is expected to remain the protocol.

A source told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio that Wednesday's talks were "very fruitful" and the expectation is that discussions will continue until a deal is reached.

"We are headed in the right direction," the source said. "There is a desire on both sides to reach an agreement sooner rather than later."

Maybe all of us fans should gather outside Smith's house and protest.

You do realize that Smith didn't lock the owners out, but that the owners locked the players out.

This whole ordeal was initiated by the owners, not the players, so why are you holding the Player Rep responsible for fixing the mess that the owners created?

    • Weight classes exist for a reason.  I think the Panthers likely have had tons of players that could have handled 89…..but that would require them to be a certain type person and plus there is the entire org issue at hand.   He was the star and dude organizationally.  You can’t just deal with the problem child star any way you want.  89 had some built in protection systemically most likely.  Very few dudes the org probably could have tolerated standing up to him….like you said Pep is one and probably Cam the other.  and still think there is a long laundry list of in house 89 stuff we don’t know about. I doubt 89’s vague and short answer for we left is a good picture of that reality too
    • Limit SF possessions, win by 3-7 points. Don’t limit, lose by 17.
