Nfl Players Cba Agreement

NFL players have voted in favor of a new collective bargaining agreement with the team`s owners, which will reorganize the financial and professional lives of thousands of people for the next decade, union officials said Sunday. A « player who plays under contract, is signed as a veteran, does not report on time or reports to his club`s pre-season training camp and leaves the club for more than five days » cannot be fined upon the team`s return and will not deserve an accumulated season for this season. Harsh, but note that he « signed a contract like a veteran. » So it seems that the new anti-holdout rules will not apply to players who will bear more at the end of their rookie contracts, as Ezekiel Elliott did last year, for example. Minimum wages for players at other levels of experience are also increasing. Players with one year of experience will earn a minimum of $US 585,000 under the current agreement and $675,000 under the proposed new contract in 2020, and this figure will reach $1.185 million by 2030. Players with seven years or more of experience have a minimum wage of $1.05 million in 2020 under the new contract, compared to $810,000 (for players with 7 to 9 years of experience) or $US 910,000 (for players with 10 years or more of experience). The minimum wage for this group will increase to $1.48 million by 2030. Rodgers, who is the NFLPA`s representative for the Packers, voted against the deal at a meeting of the union`s board of directors in Indianapolis in February. The Board of Directors voted by 17 votes to 14 and one abstention in favour of transmitting the proposal to the entire players` committee. NFL executives will have more open seats to provide more jobs for marginal players. The salary of training stunt players increases to $10,500 per week.

Performance-related wages will also increase. Negotiations revealed a last-minute concession from owners who agreed to drop a $250,000 limit on game checks for players in the final game of the 17-game regular season. « Our members have spoken and the CBA has been ratified, » Cleveland Browns Center and NFLPA President JC Tretter said in a statement. « We take a larger share of sales, achieve a significant increase in minimum wages and increase our performance after the career. For players of the past, this agreement is unprecedented to increase pensions, benefits and provide them with resources. « NFL players voted with a vote count of 1,019 to 959 to accept ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement, » the NFLPA said in a statement.
