With the NFL beginning preparations to celebrate its 100th season, questions are circulating over whether or not the centennial anniversary will be marked by labor strife. The league was reported to have been invested in getting a new Collective Bargaining Agreement set up in time for the start of the 2019 season, though that has been walked back a bit since then.
The current CBA will expire after the 2020 season, but significant implications will already come into effect by March, so the league will in all likelihood be shooting to get something done by then, especially in the aftermath of the lockout from the last round of negotiations.
