The NFL and the NFLPA both want to begin mediated talks again. However, the two sides cannot come into agreement on where those discussions should take place or who should mediate them.
The NFL would like to begin talks again with federal mediator George Cohen in Washington, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. On the other hand, the NFLPA wants to begin talks in Minnesota.
According to an ESPN.com article, "The NFL wants to move the talks out of Minnesota, so it won't have federal oversight in the next collective bargaining agreement as it has since 1993 when the league and players settled the Reggie White antitrust suit which became the CBA."
The two sides seem to still be very far apart from agreeing with each other and coming up with a solution.
However, it is good to see that the two sides at least are interested in talking now. Hopefully, this will lead to more talks in the future, and an agreement between the two sides.
