The current National Football League collective bargaining agreement?s last deal is on March 3rd, and there may possibly be a work stoppage if the league cannot agree on a new collective bargaining agreement by then. The process is being delayed by the recent cancellations of a negotiation session and a team owners meeting. However, the NFL faces an extremely tight deadline.
