Executive Director of the NFLPA DeMaurice Smith, prior to tonight’s board meeting sent the following message to the players:
“As you know the Owners have ratified their proposal to settle our differences. It is my understanding they are forwarding it to us.
As you may have heard they apparently approved a supplemental revenue sharing proposal. Obviously, we have not been a part of those discussions.
As you know from yesterday, issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open, other issues such as workers compensation, economic issues and end of deal terms remain unresolved.
There is no agreement between the NFL and the Players at this time. I look forward to our call tonight.” That meeting is still on going.
