After negotiating through the long holiday weekend, the NFL and NFLPA kept going Tuesday. The two sides convened for Day 5 of talks overseen by a federal mediator. After months of infrequent -- and sometimes contentious -- bargaining, the league and union have been communicating face-to-face since Friday. The league and union agreed to try mediation in a bid to find common ground before the current labor deal expires at the end of the day March 3.
