| NFL commissioner Roger Goodell talks about the league's labor situation |
The NFL and its players’ union met for two hours Saturday to talk about a new labor deal, their first formal bargaining session in more than two months.
The meeting was at a Dallas hotel, one day before the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers play in the Super Bowl at Cowboys Stadium. The full negotiating teams last sat down face-to- face on Nov. 22.
The sides issued a joint statement, saying they “plan to increase the number, length and intensity” of bargaining sessions so they can reach agreement before the collective bargaining agreement expires March 4. Two more sessions already had been scheduled for next week.
The statement called Saturday’s session part of a “continuing effort to narrow the differences and reach a fair agreement that will benefit the players, teams and fans.”
