This past week was an interesting one for movement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement as reports of what both the NFL and NFLPA were up to swirled all week.
It is starting to feel like a new CBA is somewhat imminent, but nothing like that is ever a lock or guarantee. There are plenty of things that will impact the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFL if a new one is agreed to, things like 17 games in the regular season and a new playoff format are part of the possibilities.
Without question, though, the most important detail to note about CBA negotiations for the Cowboys immediate future is that if a new one is agreed to, it will revoke all teams’ ability to utilize both the franchise and transition tags this offseason (they are currently allowed to use both as opposed to just one as it is the Final League Year).
