Report: Aaron Rodgers 'One of the Biggest Objectors' to NFL's Proposed CBA

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers can be added to the list of NFL players not in favor of the league's proposed collective bargaining agreement. 

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rodgers was "one of the biggest objectors" to the proposal during Tuesday's meeting between the NFL and NFL Players Association. Schefter noted Rodgers is hoping for "even more dramatic changes to the offseason program that included more free time for the players."

Rodgers took to social media on Wednesday to explain why he voted against the proposal:

The offseason workout program is voluntary and conducted through three phases over nine weeks.

The first phase is two weeks and limited to strength and conditioning workouts. The second phase lasts three weeks and includes individual player drills and team practices, but no live contact or offense vs. defense drills are allowed. The third phase is four weeks with 10 days of organized team activity permitted.

NFL owners approved terms of a potential new collective bargaining agreement last week. The key changes include a 17-game regular-season schedule, expanding the playoff field from 12 to 14 teams and increasing the players' share of league revenue to at least 48 percent. 

Schefter noted the revenue share could increase to 48.5 percent or more based on future media rights, which would result in more than $5 billion in new money for the players. 

The proposal has been met with public resistance from several star players, including Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt:   

The NFLPA announced on Twitter the board of player representatives voted to send the proposed CBA to the full player membership for a vote. A simple majority from the approximately 2,000-membership group would allow the new CBA to take effect in 2020. 

The current collective bargaining agreement runs through the upcoming season.
