The NFLPA and NFL owners have been working to form a compromise ahead of the 2020 season. Adjustments, including more playoff teams perhaps this year and an additional game beginning next season, are part of the current agreement actively being voted on by Carolina Panthers players and all other teams across the league.
However, not every member of the NFLPA is on board with the current proposal. In order to pass the CBA needs only a half plus-one majority vote but there are some influential players who have been recently speaking out against the current terms. Two of these are Panthers safety Eric Reid and the soon-to-be acquired veteran offensive tackle, Russell Okung.
