NBPA’s Jones: ‘We’re Very Far Apart’

“We’re very far apart,” (union secretary-treasurer James) Jones said on a Wednesday appearance on WQAM. “There’s always a chance of a deal being reached, because these things can moved fast, especially as you start to get up against the clock. I think football showed everyone.”

Still, Jones was not optimistic about a quick fix, with training camps, which were scheduled to open Oct. 3, now in jeopardy, as well as the preseason.

“We’re polar opposites right now,” Jones said. “Unless something serious happens, I expect for us to miss some time.”
