Steelers president Art Rooney II is pleased with the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement ... with one exception.
If Rooney had his way, two-a-day practices during training camp and padded practices during the season would still be a big part of the game. Instead, the majority of those practices were bargained out of the new labor deal by the players.
"It is something, I must say, I think I have mixed feelings about," Rooney said. "It's probably fair to say that if it were up to us, we probably would've had a little different approach to some of the practice rules."
With the owners and players agreeing Monday to a new CBA, one of the big wins for the players was the reduction of practice time in-season and during the offseason.
