NFL, Players To Resume Talks At Unknown Location To End Lockout

Over 100 days have gone by since the NFL Lockout started, but the league and the players to do appear to be moving closer to a resolution. While it will still take at least a few weeks to come to a deal on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, both sides continue face-to-face negotiations, and this coming week they will meet at an unknown location, reports the NFL Network’s Albert Breer.

After NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA director DeMaurice Smith publicly spoke together on Friday, one would hope that appearances do meet the eye and that that was a good sign for things that are to come. However, no one is saying a new deal is close to being a touchdown in the end zone. But the situation doesn’t appear to need a Hail Mary pass, either.

All in all, it appears fans should be guardedly optimistic about having football in the fall.
