As the March 4 deadline approaches for a collective bargaining agreement to be reached between the National Football League Players' Association and the NFL, Greenbay Packers President
and CEO Mark Murphy told CNBC Wendesday he is confident an agreement can happen. Green Bay Packers fans react after watching the Green Bay Packers defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super
Bowl at Stadium View Bar. Getty Images "We still have a lot of work to do, but I'm confident that if both sides come together we can reach an agreement," Murphy said.
Meetings to reach a deal have been constant, according to Murphy. There was a bargaining session in Dallas the day before the Packers won the 2011 Super Bowl. Murphy, a retired Washington
Redskins player who was a representative for the NFL Players Association in the early 1980s, now serves as a lead negotiator on behalf of the owners for the NFL. "I've been
involved in bargaining — I've seen it from a player's perspective and now obviously I'm looking at it from a different perspecitve."
