Players come first.ALL @NFL players deserve the same.
WE should not rush the next 10 YEARS for Today’s satisfaction.
I VOTE NO.

Maurkice Pouncey used some colorful language. Richard Sherman reportedly wasn’t a fan:
Whereas Richard Sherman was one of the loudest voices against the proposed CBA last week, Aaron Rodgers was one of the biggest objectors last night, per sources. Rodgers wanted even more dramatic changes to the off-season program that included more free time for the players.

J.J. Watt also said no and that was a few days ago:
Hard no on that proposed CBA.
