By the time you read this, it’s possible that something has already happened. But I wouldn’t necessarily bet on it. The NFLPA’s player representatives were able to successfully win a majority vote that would allow them to pass on the proposal for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement already signed off on by the owners, now heading to the entire union body for a vote.
Put simply, if a majority of players who choose to vote do vote in favor of the proposal, in whatever form it is now in, then it would shortly be put into effect. It would signify that the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to terms on a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement, which should prove to be among the most significant in decades, since the formation of unrestricted free agency.
