DeMaurice Smith claims “lot of work to do”

The NFL owners and NFL players association met for 12 hours on Thursday, still trying to end the lockout and hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement. Though optimism has grown recently, the two sides are still far apart on several issues.

“We still have a lot of work to do,” NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith said.

“We spent all day working hard for a deal that is fair and in keeping with what the players deserve.”

Reportedly, the biggest sticking point in the current negotiations is how to split the $9 billion in annual revenue.

Commissioner Roger Goodell attended the latest meeting, as did owners Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys, Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots, and John Mara of the New York Giants. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

On the players’ side, NFLPA president Kevin Mawae was also present.
