The National Football League and NFLPA took a positive step in the right direction, avoiding a lockout for now as the two sides agreed to an extension for 24 hours to the current CBA.
"George Cohen has announced that the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to extend the expiration of the CBA for 24 hours and continue negotiating under the direction of Mr. Cohen. The CBA now is scheduled to expire on Friday night at midnight, " the NFL said in a released statement.
The extension is expected to lead to a 7-to-10 day extension, according to reports.
