The two sides worked over the weekend on an agreement, Richard Berthelsen, the interim executive director of the NFL Players Association, said during a visit to Giants Stadium on Monday. Meanwhile, Berthelsen also said he does not think the receiver who caught the winning pass in the Super Bowl will face league disciplinary action for failing to report two domestic violence incidents earlier this year. CBS reported on Sunday that the league was investigating Burress' off-the-field problems. The league can suspend players for violating its personal conduct policy.
