Among the names present at today's meeting are New York Giants co-owner John Mara, Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen and Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the players and owners are still more than $750 million per year apart in the negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. The NFLPA has asked the NFL to show them their financial statements, but the NFL has refused.
They are also far apart on the following issues: 16 or 18 games in the regular season, rookie wage scale and retirement benefits.
Schefter said more progress will need to be made at this week's meetings in order to get another extension to the CBA deadline. The analogy he used was a comparison to a couple that had been dating for a long time.
At a certain point, Schefter says, the couple will need to either get married or break up.

According to Schefter, if there's an NFL season in 2011, Burress will likely play for the St. Louis Rams, giving Sam Bradford the big possession the Rams need to get to make a push for the postseason.
