The NFL hasn't set a deadline for when games would be canceled without a collective bargaining agreement. "We don't have a date by which the season is lost, or a date by which we have to move from 16 games to some other (number)," Eric Grubman, the league's executive vice president for business operations, said. "Our intentions are to play a full season, and we will pull every lever that we can within the flexibility we have or can identify to make that happen." Even during the lockout,the NFL and teams are working so they will be ready to start the season quickly once a deal is reached.
