Why the players didn’t vote to approve the new CBA

Over the course of the past year, one of the big questions hanging over the 2020 NFL season has been the status of a labor agreement between the players and the owners. With the current collective bargaining agreement set to expire after the 2020 season, there are several things set to be different for this upcoming season in the absence of a new agreement. On Thursday afternoon it began to look like an agreement could be reached on a new CBA that could potentially assure labor peace for the next decade.

Specifically, the owners voted to approve the proposal that had been reached following months of negotiations with the NFLPA.
