NFL, NFLPA Labor Update: Owner and Player Representatives in Separate Meetings with Mediator

With the collective bargaining agreement now set to expire at 10:59 p.m. CST today, the NFL and players union are in separate meetings with the Federal Medation and Conciliation Service.

The NFLPA has already agreed to a 7-10 day extension to the CBA expiration. They are now waiting for the NFL's response.

The players union has until 4:30 p.m. CST to file for decertification with the National Labor Relations Board or to have an agreement with the NFL on another extension. If they wait until after the CBA's expiration to decertify, they will have to wait six months to sue the NFL for violations of antitrust laws.

In other words, the pigskin is on the NFL's gridiron.
