Jenkins: CBA talks ‘won’t be as simple’ this time - ESPN
Eagles player rep Malcolm Jenkins forecasts that the upcoming collective bargaining agreement negotiations between the NFL Players Association and owners “won’t be as simple” this time around, now that Jenkins’ generation of players has assumed a leadership role. ”That’s yet to be seen,” Jenkins told ESPN, when asked if he believes these talks will grow contentious. “But I’ve got a feeling it won’t be as simple as it was last time just because you have more players like myself who have been through the lockout before, saw how the NFLPA leadership handled that into where we are now, which I don’t think was a bad deal but there is a lot that I feel like we want to get back as players, or get as players.
