Pushback OF CBA Voting Deadline Creates More Uncertainty For Teams Weighing Franchise Tag

Things are going to get complicated in the coming days. Previously, it was expected that the NFLPA’s voting on whether or not to approve the proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement that is on the table would conclude at the end of Thursday night, and that there would be a good sense of whether or not it would pass by that afternoon.

This is a pretty big deal, at least for those teams who have an eye toward using the franchise tag, as Thursday, at 4PM, is also the deadline for teams to place the tag on one of their players.
