NFL players vote in favor of new collective bargaining agreement

From the NFLPA:

That's a close vote and would indicate a pretty divided union. But the league now has labor peace for over a decade locked in and can now turn its attention to selling 17 games and expanded playoffs to its media partners.

Some of the features:

  • Expanded playoffs (in 2020)
  • 17-game regular season (2021 at the earliest)
  • Minimum salaries up rougjly $100,000
  • No suspensions for marijuana
  • 48-48.5% revenue for players

Which is to say, this is a significant win for the owners.
