While the NFL coaching staffs and team officials are prohibited from communicating with players during the lockout, it seems rather improbable to believe that there is no absolutely no contact between the two sides while their negotiators try to work out a new CBA.
The negotiating teams led by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and players' association chief DeMaurice Smith are back for more talks after a 15-hour bargaining session that lasted until the early hours of Friday morning.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith ended a 15-hour bargaining session early Friday, barely breaking for a quick nap before resuming in the morning.

The owners and players aren't meeting face to face again until next week but that doesn't mean the negotiations have stopped.
The NFL meetings from Thursday wrapped up this afternoon and, somewhat surprisingly, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith appeared together, shook hands, and talked to the press about what went down.
Earlier this week, the owners met in Chicago so they could hear an update on the labor negotiations and so they could discuss where they were going in the near future.
To some young veterans and several agents, one of the most interesting elements to emerge from the owners' meeting in Chicago on Tuesday was the presumption that the proposed CBA agreement stipulates that the requirement for unrestricted free agency will return to four seasons of accrued service.
NFL owners and players are in the Boston area to resume negotiations toward a new collective bargaining agreement, a person with knowledge of the talks is telling the Associated Press.
It is, as Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay said before Tuesday's meetings, "the season to make a deal." And so the NFL and its players should reach a labor agreement soon -- presumably, within the next few weeks -- that will save the season.
NFL owners are behind locked doors for their scheduled meeting Tuesday, and they're not talking about staying overnight.
One day of owners' meetings could turn into two. Whether that's a sign of progress toward the end of the lockout and labor peace is debatable.
NFL owners will meet Tuesday, and perhaps into Wednesday, to discuss the status of negotiations with the players aimed at ending the lockout now in its fourth month.

So everyone thinks the NFL lockout will soon be over. I mean it's only a matter of time right?
