Injuries will jump again. Just like it did after the last CBA, that also greatly reduced practices. 

I find it amazing that  nobody is acknowledging the direct correlation between reduced practices, and therefore, not in game shape = more injuries. 

Yeah they really should be doing 2 a day fully padded practices in training camp. Even aside from the injuries, it’s clear early in the year that these guys aren’t fully ready for contact and the on-field product suffers.

I thought I read there was a cap on international games and they weren’t going to factor that into the 17th game? Maybe I’m wrong.

Yes limit of 10. But I haven't heard anything about what they will do just some ideas the owners had.

A big thing I don't like about this is that it waters down the sport and mediocrity thrives. Also less opportunities for newer coaches. Coaches who hoover around .500, but make the playoffs more often than not, while maybe having a few seasons where they actually have a winning record and might make it deep in the playoffs will get a longer leash. Imagine Rivera staying around for at least 3 more years.

Ron's record in the division the last four years is what really doomed him. Regardless of the CBA changes, losing badly within the division will still be a good way for a coach to wear out his welcome sooner rather than later.

I skimmed the article quickly, was there any mention of cutting out a preseason game?  I know that was originally part of the 'carrot' for the 17th game.

Yes.

’m gutted for the families who’s livelihoods depend on their disability benefits. I’m blown away that many current players don’t realize how bad the economics of this deal are and voted it through.

I respect those who voted Yes, I respect those who voted No. We as a NFL group also voted a higher % than Gen Pop Voting. It’s just crazy to see guys had an opportunity to have a say so and chose not to pick a side. Smh. Difference was 60 votes! #CantRespectNoVote

Almost 50% of the country doesn’t vote so the foolishness is consistent. They are also the people that complain the most https://t.co/VNPfTvQQpf pic.twitter.com/LKFGCirii7

Here's another article that condenses the new CBA into important highlighted, bite-size, sections:

Summary of New CBA

[45catfan]

-Some things I gleemed: 

-Positive THC results will not likely result in suspensions, but doesn't say anything about non-punishable; thinking fines here instead.

-Practice squad goes to 12

-Game day roster goes to 48 (one HAS to be OL though)

-53 man roster can expand up to 55 with PS players signed on game week.  They can be demoted at least twice before any of the 'normal' rules (under current CBA)  apply.

-Game 17 has a option window, while expected, is not set in stone yet.

46, but not sure if that was the emergency QB or not.
