The players of the NFL have voted to approve the new controversial today collective agreement of the league, that it will be in force for the next ten years and that it will change many things in the competition and in the salary of the athletes.
The teams that will play the Playoffs are expanded from 12 to 14, with immediate effect for the next season, and the regular league have one more game, 17, for the 16 he had so far.
This last point was the most discussion over the past few months, with very distant positions between players and owners, but the increase in the minimum salary of each athlete has helped make this decision.
