NFL No Closer to CBA Agreement After Meetings Wednesday

NFL Owners walked away from bargaining talks with the NFL Players Association. The Players Association proposed a half and half split of league profits that the owners did not agree too. There was a second meeting proposed for Thursday that has been canceled due to the disputes that arose Wednesday.

The Owners would like to see the Players Association receive around 40% of revenue from the league.According to DeMaurice Smith, this would be the smallest percentage of players share of any professional sports league.

The Players proposed a 50% split of the revenues, but offered a credit to any team that reinvested in stadium improvement. This incentive would create increased revenue for the league and greater overall earnings.
