NFL owners voted in New York City on Thursday to accept the negotiated terms for a new collective bargaining agreement, the league announced.
The players will discuss whether to accept these same terms on Friday. A new CBA could potentially be ratified before the start of the new league year on March 18.
The new proposal includes expanding the NFL's regular-season schedule to 17 games, which wouldn't go into effect until 2021 at the earliest. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier this week that the proposal would also boost the sport's postseason from six teams per conference to seven.
