NFL players voted to ratify the new collective bargaining agreement, 1,019-959 Sunday. After their approval, teams pushed several deals through the transaction wire.

One team pulled a quarterback off the free-agent market, agreeing to terms on a multiyear pact. As a result, Tom Brady lost a potential suitor for his services.

Two clubs also came to terms, in principle, on a trade that adds another solid piece to a top-five defense and subtracts from a once-stout front seven.

The run at offensive tackles started with an extension for a lineman who thought about retirement but instead cashes in on a lucrative deal that goes through the 2021 campaign.
