Tense negotiations between the NFL and NFLPA regarding revisions to the collective bargaining agreement amid the COVID-19 pandemic eventually led to a verbal agreement between the two sides on July 24.

However, an official pact wasn't completed until Monday.

NFLPA President and Cleveland Browns offensive lineman JC Tretter spoke with Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio and gave the players' union's side about why that was the case.

"Especially this weekend but through the whole thing, the NFL wanted to kind of walk back a lot of the really good things we had gotten in the deal," Tretter said.
