STATEMENT BY ERIC WINSTON ON DRUG POLICY REPORTS

“Players who have been to any collective bargaining negotiation understand that we never describe them as 'very close.' We look at every issue we can to improve the rights and benefits of players. This process takes time, it takes creativity and it is never easy.

“We want to get a new agreement in place but we understand the responsibility we have to the players and to the game. It is critical that we get this right.”

-- Eric Winston, NFL Players Association President
