The post-combine, pre-free agency lull in the NFL is about to end, one way or another.
We say it that way because one big thing is happening first — the players voting on a proposed new collective bargaining agreement that would begin immediately and last through the 2030 season.
The NFL Players Association on Monday announced that voting has been extended to Saturday — it had been scheduled to conclude Thursday.
Teams are allowed to begin negotiating with impending unrestricted free agents next Monday, and whatever the decision on the CBA figures to heavily influence the talks.
