FILE - In this Jan. 4, 2010 file photo, DeMaurice Smith, executive director of the NFL Players Association, speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing entitled "Legal Issues Relating to Football Head Injuries, Part II" in Detroit. Ever since Smith was elected executive director in March 2009, the players have been warned to prepare for a potential work stoppage. Without a deal in the next five weeks to preserve the labor peace that has lasted in the NFL since a bad month in 1987, next season will have no salary cap. If no deal can be reached next season, that uncapped, maybe less competitive year will be followed by no NFL at all in 2011.
