What the Owners Want
-- A larger portion of revenues taken off the top before the players get their percentage, which likely would result in the players receiving a smaller total dollar amount unless the league is able to grow overall revenue significantly-- An expansion of the current NFL schedule from 16 to 18 games
-- A rookie wage scale that would limit the contracts of players coming into the league
What the Players Want
-- The owners to open their books and prove the hardship they claim before agreeing to any concession that potentially cuts income-- Salaries increased on a prorated basis if the schedule is expanded to 18 games
-- Fewer off-season requirements if the season is expanded
