It be done.

Adam Schefter -  NFL players voted to approve the proposed CBA, giving the NFL 10 more years of labor peace, players an increased share of revenue, former players added benefits, and the league 17-game regular seasons along with an expanded playoff field.

  • Ian Rapoport -  The final vote: 1019 YES against 959 NO. So, very close, but a new CBA is passed and agreed to.

Nice to see some good news. Also can backload contracts and ignore the 30% rule. That's big for us and our cap situation

Andy Herman -   My initial thoughts on winners/losers of the CBA:

Winners:
-Owners
-The league as a whole
-Fans to the extent that the deal is done and labor peace for a decade is good
-Minimum contract players
-Fringe NFL players

Losers:
-Mid/High tier players
-Player health
-Retired players

I wonder if free agency will go off without a hitch?  I'm kind of expecting the league to suspend it for a few weeks. There seems to be some pressure out there to do so as to not come off as tone deaf.  I say BS .. let it roll. 

I highly doubt it gets suspended. Think about it, it starts tomorrow, there is no NBA, MLB, NHL, golf, NASCAR, NCAA. The entire radio/TV/online community has one thing to talk sports about Monday. NFL free agency. They have to be grinning ear to ear.

The only thing holding it up is physicals. If you sign a FA, send your jet to grab him. Not that hard. Or just postpone the league year for 30 days and extend that legal tampering period for that entire time. The contract agreements are all that anyone cares about anyway. Maybe one guy an off-season fails his physical.

I'm personally on the worried/paranoid end of the COVID-19 spectrum, and I will be devastated if they push back FA. I need some other kind of news in my life.

Who are the math guru's around here who have calculated the uptick in salary cap for 2021?

We can only estimate. Without knowing the league revenue, it's only a guess. 

Last year it was 189 with the players getting 1% less of the revenue. You're probably looking at around 200-215

Aren't the players getting 1% more revenue starting in 2020? I thought it was going from 47-53 to 48-52 with players going from 47 to 48. 

EDIT: I think you were stating in 2019 they received 1% less than in 2020. Which would make it a 1% increase in 2020.

It's a 1% increase in the revenue received, plus whatever increase in revenue happened last year. That's generally been around 10ish million each year. 

In 2018 it was 177.2, in 2019 it was 188.2. figure from 2019 to 2020, you would have gone up to 200 million. So assume 204 million gun to my head
