The players have voted to pass the new collective bargaining agreement and details are starting to roll in. Dan Graziano breaks it down on ESPN.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • The new CBA will\u00a0expand the NFL’s playoff field by two teams<\/a>\u00a0starting with the 2020 season and allow owners the option to\u00a0expand the regular season from 16 games to 17 games<\/a>\u00a0as early as 2021.<\/li>\n
  • 11 year deal.\u00a0 \u00a0The proposed new deal runs through 2030, which means it runs for 10 years after the current deal was set to expire.<\/li>\n
  • Owners will have a window from 2021 to 2023 to expand the regular season from 16 games to 17 games, should they choose to do so (and it’s expected they will).<\/li>\n
  • Lower earning players benefit greatly. A player with less than one year of NFL experience is set to earn $510,000 this year under the current deal. That number rises to $610,000 in 2020 if the new deal is signed, and the minimum salary for players with less than one year of experience rises incrementally throughout the deal, reaching $1.065 million in 2030.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Salary Cap<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    \n

    So the salary cap for 2020 is 198.2 million.<\/p>\n
