The NFL will not make further changes to the NFLPA deadline for voting on proposals with respect to a new collective bargaining agreement, per Jabari Young of CNBC.

NFL players have until Saturday to submit their votes:

While the coronavirus has played an essential role in the suspension of professional sports leagues across the country and around the world, the NFL is intent on seeing this process through.

As it relates to the CBA, the NFLPA will be voting on a number of proposed changes, including a 17-game NFL schedule and new playoff seeding (as well as an extra playoff team from each conference). However, the proposal has become a point of contention among the players.

For starters, many NFL players have been frustrated with the addition of another game, especially in the absence of built-in time in the offseason.

The likes of Aaron Rodgers and Richard Sherman spoken out against the proposals affecting the NFL, and both Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald took to Twitter to tell players to vote against the CBA changes.

Unfortunately, things have only grown more sour between the league and the players. The NFL denied players the opportunity to change their CBA votes (via Dan Graziano and Cameron Wolfe of ESPN):

The NFL player representatives on Monday voted down a resolution that would have allowed players who have already voted on the proposed CBA to change their votes, sources told ESPN.

Enough players had asked whether they could change their votes that the NFL player reps, in meetings taking place in Key Biscayne, Florida, decided to propose the resolution, but it did not succeed.

Still, the fate of the CBA will indeed be determined by Saturday, in spite of recent closures and suspensions in the last few days. As the NFL wrestles with numerous complications, it is trying to piece together a larger plan for all its operations.
