There will be labor peace in the NFL for 10 more years, although not all the players are happy.
The NFLPA announced that it approved a new collective bargaining agreement, a 10-year pact which will see 17-game regular seasons and an increased share of revenue for the players. The agreement will run through 2030. Players were pretty split, with 1,019 yes votes to 959 no votes.
“This result comes after a long and democratic process in accordance with our constitution,” the NFLPA said in a statement. “An independent auditor received submitted ballots through a secure electronic platform, then verified, tallied and certified the results.”
