“Today, a new labor agreement was reached between the NFL and the NFL Players Association,” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. “I want to commend Commissioner Roger Goodell, DeMaurice Smith, the players’ executive committee and the NFL clubs for working together to find a mutually-beneficial solution that will allow our game to thrive for many years to come.

“Most importantly, I want to thank our fans for their enduring passion for football and the tremendous patience they have demonstrated throughout the challenges of the last several months. Our entire organization has been working hard to prepare for the 2011 season, and we are excited to get back to football when we open training camp at Missouri Western in St. Joseph, Mo.”
