The National Football League and its players union are unlikely to reach a labor agreement before this season’s Super Bowl title game, union head Kevin Mawae said.
Mawae, president of the NFL Players Association, said players and owners haven’t made significant progress since meetings in November. He said the union has made proposals to solve disputes over topics including expansion of the season to 18 games from 16 and establishing a pay ceiling for rookies.
