The NFL and its players last agreed on a collective bargaining agreement just before the 2011 season, though it's probably more accurate to say the idea of not getting paid was a keen motivator for the players, who ended up making concessions that they have come to regret in the five years since.

That experience -- coupled with Le'Veon Bell's three-game suspension last week -- is why the Steelers' player rep, left guard Ramon Foster, is urging players around the league to start saving their money now in preparation for the next work stoppage when the current CBA expires after the 2020 season.
