2020 NFL CBA

the document that you posted said that every player currently under contract will receive an additional 1/16 of their salary for that 17th game, with no cap. they are also getting additional days off and fewer practice days. plus increases in pension, 401k (with match), added health benefits, second career benefits, and a few other perks that i don't recall off the top of my head. i think that what has been offered is pretty good for the next few years. but i totally agree that it isn't enough for a ten-year contract.

The word “currently” under contract only applies to the 17th game. I would rather seen more $$$ to apply to the total revenue pot, make the other 16 game paychecks larger. Maybe semantics but as a player sure I want to get compensated for the extra game but why not use the same leverage to increase the overall salary pool

if i was a player, and this was a five year contract, i'd probably vote yes. four years, i would almost certainly vote yes. ten years, i'd definitely say no.
