NEW YORK -- A few hours after NFL owners rejected a proposal from the players' union, the league extended its deadline for free agency by three days and resumed talks aimed at an extension of the collective bargaining agreement.
The breakthrough came with a mutual agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association Thursday afternoon.
Things had looked bleak Thursday morning when owners rejected the union's latest proposal. No new talks were scheduled. While the owners were willing to give the players 56.2 percent of total revenues, the players were asking for 60 percent along with a revenue sharing formula among owners.
