Players publicly express desire to start mediation

“The players expressed their hope that mediation under court oversight will begin immediately.”

In contrast, the NFL wants to resume collective bargaining with George Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in D.C.

They can't even agree on which method to use to come to an agreement!

But I hope they reach one!!!! :D

I guess those multi million dollar house mortgage payments don't stop when you're unemployed

Brady just started construction on a 22,000 square foot, 8 bedroom home in California.

Just to give you an idea how big that is, the football is 160 feet wide from sideline to sideline so imagine a house the size of a football field sideline to sideline and from the goal line out past the 45 yard line. That's how big Brady's house is. (that is not the footprint of course, but the equivalent of how much space he will have.)

you can't have mediation without a union to negotiate with... morons.

Sure they can even the judge said so. If the NFL agrees not to hold it against them then they can negotiate.

As for the Venue, the Owners wanted to keep it in mediation the entire time. I hope it goes before the judge where she has actual power which is what the owners don't want I think.

this isn't about Cam who cares.

The NFL has so far been refusing to negotiate unless the union recertifies.

Granted, that could change, but they've been hardline so far
