Rooney: Long way to go on labor pact
Last month, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said it was
"realistic" to think the NFL could reach agreement on a new labor
pact with its players in December.
One of Kraft's peers isn't nearly as optimistic.
Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II told
FOXSports.com that he believes both sides still have plenty of work
ahead before a deal can be struck.
"I think the owners are all committed to getting a deal done
that works for the game and something that is healthy economically
for the players and owners," said Rooney, a member of the NFL
management council executive committee for labor affairs. "I'm not
going to predict any real time frame to it because I do think we
have a long way to go, but I certainly think we'll get there. I
hope we get there before we get to any type of a lockout. That
remains to be seen."
A work stoppage is pending if a new pact isn't reached
before the NFL's current collective bargaining agreement expires in
March. Among the major issues that must be addressed are a revamped
revenue-sharing system between the NFL and NFLPA, the league's
proposed expansion to an 18-game regular season, and a rookie
salary cap.
The NFL and NFLPA have been engaged in an ongoing dialogue
and are expected to meet again in December as both sides try to
avoid the league's first work stoppage since 1987.
