BALTIMORE (AP) – Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney is certain the NFL labor negotiations won’t drag on long enough to cancel the 2011 season.
Freeney believes both sides are motivated to reach an agreement. He says it would be “ridiculous” for the season to be wiped out by extended negotiations.
Freeney, a five-time Pro Bowl star, spoke Tuesday at the Ed Block Courage Awards. One player from each team was in attendance, and most expressed optimism that an agreement would soon be reached.
Atlanta Falcons cornerback Brian Williams said the end result may not be perfect for either side. But he hopes negotiators “can find that fine line where everybody’s happy and we can continue to play football for the fans.”
