New on SI: NFLPA Vote to Send the Proposed CBA to Players for Vote

The NFL Players Association and NFL announced via twitter that “The NFLPA Board of Player Representatives voted to send the proposed collective bargaining agreement to the membership for a vote.” The proposed 10-year-collective bargaining agreement, which was ratified by owners of the 32 NFL teams, seeks to include a 17-game regular season, a reduced preseason, an expanded set of playoffs and a more lenient policy on marijuana use and changed system of player discipline. If a majority of the players accept the agreement, it will go into effect this year.
