NFL players vote to approve new CBA

As of Sunday morning, a new CBA has been approved by players in a 1,019-959 decision. The ratification of the new CBA means a potential expanded regular season, going from 16 to 17 games - teams have a window until 2023 to discuss how a 17-game season would work - and an expanded playoff field, increasing from 12 to 14 teams.

Sources to ESPN: NFL players voted to approve the proposed CBA, giving the NFL 10 more years of labor peace, players an increased share of revenue, former players added benefits, and the league 17-game regular seasons along with an expanded playoff field.
