The NFL and Player’s Association ratified a new CBA, guaranteeing 10 years of labor peace. Here are four key takeaways from the new CBA.

A hotly contested collective bargaining agreement was ratified by the players on Sunday by a vote of 1,019 to 959, resulting in 10 years of labor peace between the NFL owners and the players association.
