NFL & NFLRA Resume CBA Talks With Owners at Table

The NFL and NFL Referees Association have restarted collective bargaining talks this week, with league owners now part of the delegation to bring real authority to the negotiations.

The NFL and NFLRA resumed CBA talks this week, with several owners from the Management Council Executive Committee and Competition Committee joining the league’s bargaining delegation. The league is offering roughly 6.45% annual wage growth over six years, while the NFLRA seeks over 10% plus $2.5 million in marketing fees and improved healthcare benefits. The inclusion of owners may help move the negotiations forward after a previous session collapsed.
