So Wednesday came and went with all 32 team representatives (players) were to vote on their end of the new CBA deal...and well...the new CBA document was not complete. So a vote in our nation's capital never happened. There were some positives out of the new deal, with the new updated salary cap set at a total of $141 million per year. Out of that, teams can spend $120 million per year in salaries and bonuses, and the other 21 goes to benefits. That's where retired players come in. Seventy-five retired players are suing the NFL due to their health issues, and saying the NFL lied to them at that time of the safety of the game. And they don't have proper benefits to cover all their injuries.
Now the NFL owners along with Commissioner Roger Goodell are in Atlanta today to also vote from their end. Their will be a lot of conference calls I believe today back and forth from the league to the players association to try to get the deal done. What will probably happen is the deal will get done this weekend, and players will get back to work, and the issues with the retired players will carry on.
More updates to follow as they come in...
