Players vote to pass NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement by narrowest of margins

NFLPA approves the owner’s CBA proposal by a narrow margin

The NFL has labor peace and a new 10-year deal after the players voted and agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement by the narrowest of margins.

The new CBA runs through 2030 and it includes two new playoff teams added for the 2020 season. The league will move to a 17 game regular season starting in 2021 and will increase the minimum salary of players and increased revenue sharing.

According to the NFLPA, the new CBA passed by only 60 votes, leaving a continued divide over whether some players believe the deal is fair or not.
