NFLPA: Players to vote on collective bargaining agreement proposal that includes 17-game schedule

INDIANAPOLIS — There appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel for NFL team owners and the league’s players union, representing a potential final vote in the coming days on whether the two sides will share another decade of labor peace.

The NFL Players Association’s board of player representatives voted to send the owners’ collective bargaining agreement proposal to its membership for a vote, union assistant executive of external affairs George Atallah said via Twitter early Wednesday morning.

After meeting at the NFL scouting combine late into Tuesday night, sources told Yahoo Sports that a negotiating committee for the league’s team owners had fruitful meetings with representatives from the players union.
