It’s more than that... the NFLPA should ALWAYS be nervous. Their members have never been able to stay unified, stick to the plan, shut their mouths...So if the vote would've been 990-988 this 10-year deal goes through? Amazing how stupid the NFLPA is.
That’s a very close vote.
The alternative might be (1) they vote NO (2) the owners wait it out (3) they eventually cave because they aren’t united/spend too much $/have limited careers (4) the players accept a worse deal, after a year of not getting paid.TBH I'm surprised the owners divide and conquer strategy didn't pay off with a higher margin. Evidently many of the players are smarter than they were given credit for, just not quite enough of them.
There were a lot of big name star players in the No column. I hope they come out and ask for a redo. There were apparently players that wanted to change their votes and weren't allowed.It’s more than that... the NFLPA should ALWAYS be nervous.

Honestly, despite “not getting everything they wanted”, I’m glad for the players to have accepted. With their fickle members (and stupid social media posts) they’d have gotten screwed in a post-Covid offer !
17 games, huh. So...if you are not playing in London/Mexico City or a neutral ground...about half of the teams in the league will have one extra away game? How is this going to work?
I would normally agree with you on such a long commitment. Unfortunately 21% of the players did not even vote and they did not even have to go anywhere to do it.That's too close (51%). They should've required a 60% minimum for a 10-year deal.
