One of the central topics of the early portions of this offseason has been, and understandably, so, the state of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association. As it stands, the union body is set to vote on a new CBA proposal in the coming weeks. Put simply, either it will be implemented if the players pass it, or it won’t be if they don’t. It only requires a simple majority.
The league owners are hungry to get this deal passed, and now. They have even pre-approved their side of the deal, and have even attempted to threaten to suspend negotiations if the union does not approve what is currently on the table.
