The CBA has been sent to all NFL players to be voted upon. The deadline for that vote is now Saturday, March 14th. It appears as though the CBA, despite calls from some of the higher paid players in the league to vote against it, will indeed pass.
Due to the CBA changes and delay, the NFL has pushed back the deadline to assign franchise and transition tags to their players. This is where things will potentially get out of hand and somewhat confusing.
The deadline for the assingment of tags will now come on the 16th of the month, two days ahead of free agency’s start.
