DALLAS (AP) – NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and union executive director DeMaurice Smith have met in New York about labor negotiations.
According to a joint statement from the league and union, Goodell and Smith spoke Monday about “a range of issues related to a new collective bargaining agreement.”
They agreed to have a formal bargaining session with both negotiating teams in the Dallas area on Saturday, the day before the Super Bowl. The sides have not had a full-group negotiation since November.
Goodell and Smith also set up a series of meetings in the coming weeks “in an effort to reach a new agreement by early March,” the statement said.
The current CBA expires at the end of the day March 3, and the union expects the NFL to lock out players as soon as the next day.
