Key points from the new CBA:
Reminders:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 15, 2020
* The NFL will soon have 17-game regular seasons, 3-game preseasons
* The playoffs will include 7 teams per conference, with just one bye apiece
* Teams CANNOT use both the franchise and transition tag this year (i.e. Cowboys or Titans)
10 more years of labor peace.
How this affects the 2020 season, especially in light of the coronavirus news, is to be determined.
Stay tuned for more details.
