SPN's Adam Schefter reports NFL players have voted to approve the new CBA.
The voting was close — just 51.5 percent were in favor of the CBA. After some pushback, this is viewed as a win for the players, who get increased revenue share and added benefits. Players will no longer be subject to substance-abuse suspensions, potentially paving the way for the returns of Randy Gregory, Aldon Smith, and Josh Gordon, among others. The NFL could switch to a 17-game regular season and three-game preseason as soon as 2021, with a seven-team playoffs going into effect this year. With the CBA passed, teams can now focus on locking up their players before free agency. It's still possible the start of the new league year will be moved back.
