The NFL and the NFLPA have agreed to a 24 hour extension on their current collective bargaining agreement, so that negotiations may continue for at least one more day.

Both the league and the NFLPA have largely adhered to the federal mediator’s request to cease making public statements regarding the negotiations, although Washington Redskins player rep Von Holliday suggested today, that the two sides were still “far apart”.
