NFL Players Vote To Ratify New Collective Bargaining Agreement

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Big changes are coming to the NFL.

The NFL players Sunday approved a new collective bargaining agreement.

Among the changes, it would add a wild-card team to each conference, resulting in two extra games, the NFL said. That change could occur as early as the 2020 season.

The deal also includes higher salaries, increased roster sizes and larger pensions.
