NFLPA's DeMaurice Smith Wants CBA Negotiations In January

DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL Players Association, said Tuesday that he has suggested to the sport's franchise owners that the owners and players' union commit to scheduling five days of "concentrated meetings" in mid-January, aimed to complete a new labor deal, if the two sides have not finished an agreement before then. He said he has made that proposal to the owners. Smith suggested that the owners weren't receptive to the idea. "I haven't been given a green light to select which hotel that's going to be," Smith said.

i hope smith is serious about getting a deal done quickly and i hope the owners don't try to play hard ball and lower the player's portion of the revenue share. they have hinted that they wanted to lower it. I think the players are getting something like 60% of the total revenue of the league and the owners claim they can't make money with it that high. I personally don't believe the owners. I think they're all making money, they may just not be making as MUCH money as they would like.
