Offseason: Around the NFL

[SunnySide]

Seems like they should vote on the new CBA .... an off season before the old one expires. I honestly thought this offseason would be under the old/existing rules for like a phase in period regardless of whether of the new CBA is agreed to.

To have the voting be done right before you intend to implement the new CBA right before the start of FA and during the tag decision period ... seems like its courting disaster.

I think it only takes effect for this when the new league year starts. If no deal happens we still play this year under the old CBA.

That makes sense, so there is a fall back .. this year just defaults to the old CBA if a new CBA is not agreed to. Thank you
