The NFLPA conducts a press conference each year at the Super Bowl, and this one did not offer optimism for the coming labor negotiations. The current collective bargaining agreement runs through the end of the 2020 season. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said the union is open to early negotiations, but emphatically stated they will not simply extend the current CBA.
The last time the CBA came up for negotiation, the NFL had a lockout that carried into late July. Things were eventually sorted out, but there have been plenty of complaints from players about how the CBA shook out.
