NFL Owners Plot Strategy Amid Player Demands
NFL owners wrapped up a four day meeting in Atlanta without signaling approval or rejection of the Players Association demands for higher receipts. Art Modell leads a negotiating committee to discuss terms with the union in New York next week. The union seeks 15000 dollar minimum salaries, 500 dollar per game for exhibition players, and a 5 million pension fund payment. Owners criticize the pension and exhibition pay while noting teams are not cash machines. Modell denies confirming strike authority rumors.
