2713517, NFL: New CBA approved through 2030
Posted by will_5198, Sun Mar-15-20 02:47 PM
- 14 team playoffs in 2020
- 17 game schedule in 2021 (1 less preseason game)
- 1 franchise tag per team (no transition tag)
- fewer practices
- higher thresholds for THC testing and no resulting suspensions for positives

players barely passed, with a 1019-959 majority (51.5%). sadly, around 500 current players did not vote at all. can you imagine 20% of the owners not voting on their own labor agreement?
2713523, players took a super L

More games will result in more money for the players. The players can be better protected with less practices. The one franchise per team is a win for the players, which a majority will be QB’s (thinking out loud). Players can’t be suspended for weed anyone, and that is long overdue.

draft season is on Twitter anyway

and with that, there's so much "my guy" and "first" that a lot of it becomes noise
2713536, 17th game really fucks up the perfectness of the NFL schedule
Posted by Oak27, Mon Mar-16-20 10:56 AM
The current 16 game schedule
-Inter-division opponents twice (6 games)
-One other division in conf (rotating) (4 games)
-One other division in opposite conf (rotating) (4 games)
-Teams from other divisions in conf who finished at same seed (2 games)

Where does that 17th game come from? Does NFL just decide what games would make the best primetime games? Is it random? Rotated?

And now every team plays an uneven amount of home and away games? I'm assuming London/Mexico/etc games will now be "neutral" games, but we aren't having 16 of those games a year... or fuck, ARE WE??
2713560, yup

Aren't they locked into that contract for 10 years?

And funny how the NFL's tv deals expires at the end of next year or soon. They will get a huge TV deal without that money being factored in.

More teams in the playoff hunt. Less games that are meaningless.
Extra game.
More excitement around Christmas and New year's.
2713614, How do you figure?

I think it still balances out to a few meaningless games when the top seed clinches

and you may see teams jockey for position of the other seeds since the second seed isn’t as valuable anymore.

2713849, Dude, the owners changed some stipulations in the CBA after
Posted by allStah, Mon Mar-30-20 10:03 PM
players agreed to it, so that should invalidate the deal.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28972490/eric-reid-calls-probe-revote-post-ballot-changes-cba

"The letter from attorneys Ben Meiselas and Ray Genco highlights a difference in wording in the section about the league's disability plan that affects hundreds, and potentially thousands, of ex-players who applied for Social Security disability insurance payments before Jan. 1, 2015. In the version the players received and approved, those offsets applied only to players who applied after Jan. 1, 2015."

This is disgusting that the owners tried to pull a fast one over the players, and the NFLPA agreed to it. The new CBA, based on the new language, means that disabled ex players will get less money than the money they would have gotten under the CBA that the players agreed upon.
