Because the 32-member NFLPA representative council voted to move the proposed CBA for ratification, only a simple majority of the union must approve to set the deal into motion. It is not yet known when the full vote of the players union will take place. “The NFLPA Board of Player Representatives voted to send the proposed collective bargaining agreement to the full player membership for a vote,” the NFLPA said in a statement early Wednesday. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined comment out of “respect for the process.”A four-hour meeting between the NFL and NFLPA took place Tuesday night here at the site of the NFL Scouting Combine. With a vote pending, the NFL and NFLPA are planning meetings with attorneys this week to decide how the offseason might be impacted.
