Cowboys' Jerry Jones Talks 17-Game NFL Schedule Negotiations with Players Union

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday that expansion of the NFL regular season to 17 games remains an "item of negotiation" with players.

"It is an item of negotiation, and we are involved in negotiation with the player union. ... I couldn't comment on it because ... I don't want to get into [where players stand on expanding the regular season]," Jones told reporters.

Speculation about expanding the regular season has been ongoing for years, but it doesn't appear much progress has been made in the push from NFL owners.
