Representatives for the NFL players' association and the owners are meeting Wednesday at an undisclosed location in Washington. Talks about a new collective bargaining agreement began at 10 a.m. ET and are scheduled to end at 7 p.m. ET, sources close to the negotiations told ESPN's Trey Wingo. Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET, the sources said. The NFL and NFLPA met Saturday in Dallas and said then that they planned two more meetings this week. On Sunday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday's two-hour meeting with the players' union was "beneficial." "It's always a positive when both parties are talking," Goodell said. "My focus is on the next three or four weeks. I've often said, our agreement expires on March 4. We have to use that period of time to reach an agreement that's fair for the players, fair for the clubs, and allows our great game to grow for our fans."
