Rooney ‘happy, relieved’ CBA is done
By: Bob Labriola, Steelers.com
Sometimes, a fair outcome of a negotiation is described as one where neither side is totally happy. Another way to look at it is whether each side got what it really wanted.
From the initial general analysis of the extension of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement that was ratified by a vote of the players last weekend, the new deal falls into the second category.
There are a lot of elements within this new Collective Bargaining Agreement, but when it comes to the major points, it’s fair to point to these: the owners wanted a 17-game regular season and an expansion of the playoffs from 12 to 14 teams; and the NFLPA wanted more money, and it wanted that money to be directed to the constituency it referred to as its “core players.”
”That was actually what the union told us was their main objective from the beginning,” said Steelers President Art Rooney II. “When we started the negotiations, they made it clear that what they wanted to accomplish if we were going to extend the thing was to – and they described them as the core players – they wanted to take care of the core players. In terms of a general objective and goal, we kind of agreed with that. It was a good direction to go. So that was really at their initiative, but we were supportive of the direction.”
