NFL Pushes Back Franchise Tag Deadline As They Await NFLPA Response To CBA Proposal

What will the future hold for the CBA? Will the future be now? The NFL and NFLPA are expected to meet tomorrow to discuss the current offer on the table, which the NFL has already approved, and they have also stated that this is the only proposal that they will be considering. They argue they must know under what rules they will be operating when the new league year starts, so if the NFLPA does not agree to the proposal they have already signed off on, they will move forward under the final year of the previous CBA.

The owners were hoping that the players would have already voted (and approved) their previous proposal by now.
