The National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) and NFL owners are nearing ratification of a new NFL CBA, collective bargaining agreement.
Sides are set to meet separately over the next two days and many feel there is a good chance that a new NFL CBA could be ratified as both sides have already agreed to many of the points during negotiations. Having a new CBA in place prior to the league’s new year should make fans happy as this eliminates any chances of a work stoppage in the near future.
There are still a few sticking points though, the most widely known is the owner’s desire to move to a 17 game regular season.
