A member of the union leadership of NFL players said Tuesday that both team owners and the union agree toyou should avoid following a strike that does not want to provoke the anger of the fans.
"I think common sense is what will prevail in the end. After all what has been said, we have clear who are the ones who feed us, " said Brian Dawkins, a senior safety for the Denver Broncos. "That's what drives us. "
Dawkins and his colleague Mike Vrabel alternated with expressions of optimism and frustration at proposals by the NFL during a teleconference in which he reviews the negotiations on a new collective agreement.
The current contract expires on March 4 and feared a lockout. One of the thorniest issues concerns the desire to expand the league season, currently 16 regular season games and four preseason. The new schedule would regulate 18 games and two exhibition.
Dawkins and Vrabel indicated that the league has not proposed anything in return for what the players consider shorter races will result in the NFL and therefore earn less money, since a longer season will expose them to injury.
