WASHINGTON (AP) – The NFL and the players’ union have wrapped up their fourth day in a row of mediated labor negotiations.
NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith left the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service building at 6 p.m., about seven hours after Monday’s session began. NFL executives departed minutes after Smith did. None commented.
About an hour earlier, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch and two other current players left. Batch said the talks are “going well,” but did not discuss details.
The league and union agreed to try mediation after months of infrequent – and sometimes contentious – bargaining. The sides have met for more than 25 hours since Friday.
The current labor deal expires at the end of the day March 3.
