The NFLPA issued a "work stoppage guide" to its players in preparation for a possible strike or lockout after the 2020 season.

These guidelines offer numerous tips for how players should save their money, including but not limited to:

  • Saving at least half of each paycheck
  • Cooking at home instead of eating out
  • Renting instead of buying a new home for the time being
  • Selling a car that hasn't been driven in six months
  • Selling clothes that have seldom been worn

ESPN's Dan Graziano says his sources from both sides of the bargaining table believe a work stoppage is unlikely, but the NFLPA is still preparing its players for the worst-case scenario.

Negotiation sessions have been tentatively scheduled for next week, though little progress has been made thus far in the meetings between players and owners, Graziano adds.
