INDIANAPOLIS — Bears general manager Ryan Pace said Tuesday that his team was ready for two financial realities — one in which the NFL and its union agreed on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, effective immediately, and one in which it did not.
“We’re prepared for either one,” Pace said. “I think that’s us just doing our due diligence either way and we’ll see how it plays out.”
Tuesday night offered little in the way of clarity. Owners and the NFL Players Association’s executive committee and board of directors members met for almost four hours at a downtown hotel but left without providing an update.
