Reports: NFL-NFLPA meetings cut short two days

The sides released a joint statement on Wednesday afternoon, saying, "Today's
meeting was productive, constructive and beneficial for both sides, and the
meetings between the NFLPA's Executive Committee and the NFL's Management
Council Executive Committee will continue."

Multiple media outlets reported the sides will reconvene on July 29, rather
than continuing with scheduled meetings Thursday and Friday.

ESPN reported the sessions ended early because information emerged that needed
to be discussed further with other owners, quoting a source saying, "big
topics are tabled (for now). There is definitely a lot of work to be done."

The current collective bargaining agreement expires after the 2020 season, but
sentiment around the league is that the NFL would like to reach agreement on
an extension before the 2019 regular season begins in September.
