Monday we took our first step into looking at each and every article of the collective bargaining agreement of the NFL as the slow portion of the offseason sneaks closer. Here we’ll move right along to Article 2, which is the governing agreement of the collective bargaining agreement.
Article 2 is comprised of five separate sections, most of which are fairly basic, and much as we saw in Article 1, more along the lines of formalities necessary in any 300+ page legal document than digging too deep into specifics.
Sections 1 and 2 of the CBA, entitled Conflicts and Implementation, respectively, simply lay out the parties covered by the CBA and that all parties will use their best efforts to follow the rules as laid out.
