NFL players react to the new CBA, which passed by just 60 votes
The NFL Players Association announced on Sunday morning that the collective bargaining agreement had passed a vote of its membership, but just barely. The final tally was 1,019 to 959, meaning that the new CBA passed by a margin of just 60 votes. A total of 1,978 players voted out of approximately 2,500.
The voting period featured numerous high-profile players publicly declaring their position on the CBA. Greg Olsen came out in favor. Russell Wilson, J.J. Watt and Aaron Rodgers came out against it.
How did players feel once word came that the CBA passed? Reactions definitely ran the gamut.
Some, like Malcom Jenkins of the Philadelphia Eagles, weren’t happy with it.
