Even with players pushing back the vote on the new CBA, the new NFL year has a firm March 18 start date, per source. However the NFL is evaluating whether to push back the tag deadline from 4 pm Thursday. https://t.co/aWAefv3yd0

On the CBA vote delay: Players wanted the union to produce a document comparing the 2011 CBA to the current proposal. And union wants players to have time to look at everything.

Reasonable, given it’s a 10-year extension.

The #Redskins are now open to dealing LT Trent Williams, but they aren’t just asking for draft picks. I’m told they are big-game hunting, asking for players like CB Denzel Ward in return. Which… is a non-starter.

Ha. Zero chance on the hentges stuff. Can’t say that and have it be taken seriously. Hooper is good. Has good qualities. Special? No. The question becomes: at what cost. I don’t think they’ll break the bank for him. So probably a moot point. I think.

Josh Norman spoke to several teams following his release and quietly visited Buffalo. He decided on a one-year deal with the #Bills because of his familiarity with the defensive system and the talent around him, including Tre’davious White on the other side of the field.

Derrick Brown wanted to do the 3-cone drill at his Pro Day, but teams advised him not to and to just focus on his D-line drills. So... he posted this recent 3-cone instead ⏱ https://t.co/lJUcE597HT

And he's SMART. I'm going through the Tennessee game tonight and you can see him vary up his sets and punches based on the stance and alignment of the front. He knew exactly what they were doing on every play before the ball was snapped. That dude is remarkably pro ready.

100%. Same applies to drafting an elite RB and then feeling forced to extend them to justify the draft capital expenditure

The issue is that GMs feel the need to win over the public. Giving up a 3rd round pick in a rebuilding year for 8 games of Williams can’t be justified https://t.co/Ht0w9SQUlb

— BradOTC (@BradOTC) March 10, 2020

Yep and we have the numbers to back that latter part up too. On the first part its funny. Part of the logic of the rookie wage scale was to protect teams from getting stuck with certain picks but at the end of the day unless they are a total bust teams still fall into same trap

Eric Winston on players' CBA vote: "I would think it would pass by a lot" https://t.co/y4XKFaifAK

— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) March 9, 2020

The NFLPA could have a major overhaul to player leadership in the next few days. Not only is president Eric Winston due to cycle off, the other 10 executive committee seats are slated for a vote Tuesday as well, I’m told. Nominations for president expected later today.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 9, 2020

Okung has made public his desire to be the next president; other nominations are expected today. This all comes against the backdrop of the ongoing player vote to ratify (or not) a new collective bargaining agreement. Voting is scheduled to end at 11:59 p.m. Thursday.

David Baker, who heads the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has sent a letter to all living Hall of Famers outlining improved benefits for retired players i clouded in the proposed CBA.

— Judy Battista (@judybattista) March 9, 2020

A reminder on the CBA and David Baker’s letter to Hall of Famers: retired players do not vote on the proposed CBA. Baker acknowledges current players have their own issues at top of mind, but clearly Baker thinks the retiree benefits are much improved in the proposal.

Interesting from @TomPelissero: #Packers QB Aaron Rogers, #Texans DL JJ Watt, and #Seahawks QB Russell Wilson were not present for the NFLPA meeting. All three have been vocal about voting against the new CBA… but were not there to state their case.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 9, 2020

All players are invited to the meeting, including team reps such as Rodgers. Their choice to attend or not, of course, but this is one reason you've heard frustration from those players who have been engaged throughout the process. https://t.co/CXonz5quue

Have to imagine player who most wants a cba to be ratified at the last possible second is Amari Cooper. If he can hit free agency he would be the most desired free agent since Suh.

Russell Okung, Michael Thomas, Sam Acho and JC Tretter have been nominated for the NFLPA president job, per sources. Okung, Thomas and Acho are current executive committee members. Tretter is the #Browns’ third co-alternate rep.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 9, 2020

Of the four men nominated for NFLPA president:

- Acho voted yes on the CBA
- Okung voted no
- Tretter released a detailed a breakdown for players to educate themselves, but did not state a position
- Thomas has not spoken publicly

As of now, the vote is scheduled for Tuesday. https://t.co/H1ZuzdwbsJ

Okung is an NFLPA vice president. A VP is doing this to his own union. With a proposed CBA on the table. This is an absolute poopshow. https://t.co/nEHD8dwAOu

— Mike Tanier (@MikeTanier) March 9, 2020

The NLRB will investigate Russell Okung's unfair labor practices charge against the NFLPA over the next three months or so and decide whether to issue a complaint. If a complaint is issued, the case potentially could end up before an administrative law judge.

There appear to be some NFL players who believe that their union is their enemy.

Here is a perspective on the other side of the cba argument. https://t.co/sShQSlVPLO

— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 9, 2020

Russell Okung could seek to overturn a successful CBA approval vote based on his contention that the deal should not have been put to such a vote. But any remedies could be far more modest even if he wins his case, such as the NFLPA being ordered to cease any improper practices.

The NFL had no plans, as of earlier today, to cancel or reschedule the annual league meeting. It remains scheduled for March 29 to April 1 in Palm Beach, Fla.

— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) March 9, 2020

Some opponents of the proposed CBA cite a lack of lifetime medical coverage for players. Supporters say that wasn't a top negotiating priority for the NFLPA based on a high portion of former players having access to coverage and point to improved benefits for players in the deal.
