As we enter the final half hour before the promised 2:00 p.m. ET update from NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith, there’s a possible reason why there have been no updates.
Daniel Kaplan of SportsBusiness Journal reports that, Friday morning, the league made “revised offers on core issues.”
The mediation session has continued for more than 3.5 hours. The longer it goes, the better the chance of another extension.
And we would definitely dig that.
