The current CBA runs through 2021 but the league and the NFLPA were hoping to get a deal in place that would go into effect for the upcoming NFL season. The league’s new year starts on March 18th and while no deal in place would cause a work stoppage, the players will have money left on the table for the upcoming season.
For the last month or so the NFL and the NFLPA have been working well to developing a new CBA that would continue to benefit the owners while also giving more to the players in return.
