We’ve heard a lot of the biggest names in the NFL voicing their opposition to the proposed CBA that is now being voted on by the players.
But former Tennessee Titans and current Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is actually supporting the proposed deal.
Fitzpatrick recorded a video explaining why he is a fan of the deal and will vote “yes” on it.

Other players, like Titans safety Kenny Vaccaro, are voting the opposite way of Fitzpatrick.

The deadline for players to cast their vote is March 12 at 11:59 p.m. ET. If a majority of the players who cast their vote say “yes” to the new deal, then it passes.
Should the new CBA be passed by the new league year on March 18, the Titans wouldn’t be able to use both the franchise and transition tags, which would give them less options with some of their own free agents.
However, the new CBA also makes changes to fifth-year options for players on rookie deals, and the Titans have two players in Adoree’ Jackson and Corey Davis to make decisions on this offseason.
Fitzpatrick started nine games for the Titans back in 2013, compiling a 3-6 record. He completed 62 percent of his passes for 2,454 yards and 14 touchdowns to 12 picks.
