NEW YORK (AP) -NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith says in a memo to players and their agents that it is likely no new collective bargaining agreement will be reached and the upcoming season will be played without a salary cap.
In the memo distributed Tuesday, Smith outlines the union’s talks with the league, but makes it clear he doesn’t think a new deal will occur before the March 5 deadline – giving the NFL its first uncapped season since 1993.
Smith says the union’s most recent proposal contains an offer to keep the current capped system for another year to allow both sides to continue negotiations. He added that another general bargaining session is scheduled for Thursday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
