The NFL is holding midseason owners meetings today at the Renaissance Vinoy in St. Petersburg where they are discussing a variety of matters, including some of the complex labor issues facing the league.

There aren't expected to be any votes taken today or on Wednesday, when the meetings conclude. But that doesn't mean there won't be news.

Commissioner Roger Goodell, who will speak with reporters later today, could have some comments on his plans for dealing with Cowboys cornerback Adam Jones, who was involved in a reported fight with his team-employed bodyguard/babysitter. Jones' long history of run-ins with the law and his season-long suspension in 2007 make him a target for severe consequences if the league determines this incident requires discipline.

On another front, the trade deadline is looming in just a few hours. General manager Bruce Allen, here representing the Bucs, said there is plenty of conversation around the league today but indicated the Bucs weren't currently considering any substantive offers. Of course, Allen is smart enough not to tell us if they were, but we'll know for certain after the 4 p.m. cutoff time.
