NFL Players Reportedly Not Allowed to Change CBA Votes After Request

ESPN's Dan Graziano and Cameron Wolfe reported Monday night that NFL players will not be able to change their already-cast votes regarding the new collective bargaining agreement.

"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," Graziano and Wolfe wrote.

The NFLPA announced earlier Monday that the voting period had been extended to Saturday:

The previous deadline was 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday:

The current CBA will expire after the 2020 season.

MMQB's Albert Breer also reported earlier Monday that the players wanted the union to provide a comparison document between the current proposal and the 2011 CBA, and the union wanted them to have enough time to thoroughly look at everything. "Reasonable, given it's a 10-year extension," Breer noted.

NFL owners previously approved the terms of the new CBA on Feb. 20:

The NFL and NFLPA then met for four hours in Indianapolis during the NFL combine on Feb. 25:

Several star players spoke out against the proposal—notably refuting the owners' desire to extend the regular season to 17 games. Among the loudest voices have been Richard Sherman, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Maurkice Pouncey:

The ongoing CBA negotiations could affect the NFL's deadline for each team to place the franchise tag and transition tag, per Graziano and Wolfe. The deadline right now is 4 p.m. ET Thursday, but "the league is deciding whether to extend that deadline to match the CBA vote."

"If there are no changes to that deadline, teams would be able to use both the franchise tag and the transition tag on players, but if the new CBA is passed, they would then have to rescind one of those tags if both are used," Graziano and Wolfe continued.

According to Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, over 1,000 players have already submitted their CBA votes.
