George Atallah is the assistant executive director of external affairs for the NFL Players Association. So he should be well informed of what is going on.
Since he is tweeting that they are sending the CBA to the general membership for a vote, it has a high chance of passing. This is going to the 2,000 NFLPA members and for many of these players the new CBA gives them a better chance of staying in the NFL and making money.
From the things that I have read, there may have been a few financial perks that helped get this through tonight. Not supposed to be anything major though. I think the $250,000 limit on the extra 17th game may have increased, but the money from that was supposed to come from a different bucket.
I think this is good news and I hope it works out for all. [Reply]

The decade of "NFL Peace and Understanding"...Oh, and don't forget it's also the decade of the "Chiefs and Mahomes". [Reply]
When the @NFLPA votes today, don’t underestimate the factor of the $100,000 increase to minimum salaries in 2020. B/c this increase impacts so many (mostly unheralded) players, it could make the difference in a new CBA being approved, despite the concerns about a 17 game season.
