NFL, NFLPA Conclude Week of Negotiation, Will Resume Talks Tuesday

According to ESPN's SportsCenter, some members of the Indiana state government sent a letter to Roger Goodell urging the NFL to get a new collective bargaining agreement.

The letter states that, if Super Bowl XLVI (which is scheduled to be played in Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium) is cancelled, the state will lose up to $400 million.

After seven days of meetings between the NFL and NFLPA, federal mediator George Cohen says more work needs to be done before the current CBA's March 3 expiration.

Cohen said some progress has been made, but the players and owners still hold some "very strong differences" regarding some important core issues.
